2-Day Certification Course on Grief Counseling for Children & Adolescents: Developmentally (HS - SIRRINE - 057385)

Course overview

Grief looks different in a child. When a child loses someone, it's a lifelong loss. Not only have they lost someone important, they often become isolated in their pain, confusion, and self-blame. Safety and security have been replaced by trauma and anxiety. Their understanding of death, and responses to the grief that follows, are largely influenced by their developmental level, making their treatment much different from that of an adult.
