Creative Interventions for Bereaved Children

When children experience the death of a significant person, they are at a very vulnerable time in their lives. These young grievers often struggle with emotions they may hesitate to express openly. The use of play-based interventions creates an engaging and developmentally appropriate context for addressing the unique needs of bereaved children.

This webinar will provide guidelines for working effectively with young grievers. The training will delve into a diverse range of creative activities specifically designed to engage bereaved children. Attendees will learn how to use games, art, and storytelling to help children bereaved by suicide, homicide, natural disasters, mass violence, military/line-of-duty death, drug overdose, and other types of loss. These activities are adaptable for use in various settings, including support groups and individual and family sessions.

This webinar is designed for both novice and experienced grief facilitators and professionals seeking new and innovative ways to assist children in navigating their grief journey.

Children who are grieving often face challenges in processing emotions and adapting to loss in developmentally appropriate ways. This presentation explores the integration of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with play-based approaches to support children navigating the complexities of grief. Participants will delve into the core principles of EMDR, including its eight-phase protocol, and discover how to tailor it specifically for children who are grieving.

The session highlights the role of play and creative expression as vital tools to complement EMDR, making interventions more engaging and effective for young clients.

Crossing the Grief Bridge: Supporting Siblings Coping with Loss

Sibling loss can have a significant impact on children. Children may struggle to understand why their sibling has died, and they may feel responsible or blame themselves for what happened.

This experiential workshop will allow attendees to learn a new therapeutic activity that can be used for siblings individually or within a group. Through the metaphor of crossing over a wooden bridge with planks representing struggles and hopes, attendees will have a deeper understanding of their grief journey. After self-reflection and discussion, attendees can facilitate this therapeutic activity with a diverse population coping with grief and loss.

Write Your Heart Out: Self Expression to cope with grief, loss, trauma, & stress

The W.H.O. recently reported COVID-19 pandemic has caused a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide and called for all countries to step up mental health services and support. Additionally, the coronavirus and the public health measures designed to prevent its spread have been shown to have had a profound negative effect on many young people. Writing and poetry are powerful tools to help process and cope not only with COVID-19 effects, but also for helping those dealing with grief, loss, trauma, and stress management in general. Yet, children, teens, and the adults in their lives often avoid writing because they think they aren’t a “good writer”. Attend this workshop to help them learn tools to overcome that negative self-talk barrier. Apply the research about free-form writing to help children and teens have a positive impact on healing and the immune system. In this interactive lecture/discussion, experiential, and personal reflection workshop, we will explore and experience poetry and written activities. Caring professionals can use the activities to help families process their grief and trauma, improve coping, and prevent stress & burnout.
