GC 555: Developmentally Based Creative Interventions For Children In Grief

Course overview

This comprehensive CEU course approaches creative activities for dealing with children in grief from two very essential viewpoints: developmental theory and attachment theory. The course has two critical objectives for the working grief professional. The first objective, treated in the text, The Colors of Grief, is to provide a clear background in the developmental phases of growth and concomitant attachment loss issues. It describes how development affects a child's experience of loss. The book will supply you with an excellent outline that can help you choose age appropriate activities to deal with a child's grief. The second objective is to provide you with practical activities that can be adapted to the child's developmental stage. Two workbooks were selected to give you a comprehensive selection of activities Healing Activities for Children in Grief and Why Did You Die? With these books you will have a collection of hundreds of creative activities that are easily staged but provide very clearly defined grief objectives. It is my hope that these materials will give you a complete approach to creative approaches to child grief in both individual and support group settings This CE Course is offered by the American Institute of Health Care Professionals, Inc.
