1 in 12 children are impacted by the death of a sibling or parent by the time they are 18 years old. Proper grief-informed education, support, and resources are known to greatly reduce the impact of stressors related to loss and support healthy development (CBEM,2022). Since grief processing for system-involved youth and teens differs from adults, they may benefit from alternative options in expressions, storytelling, and healthy coping strategy development. This training will focus on utilizing activities rooted in evidence that are appropriate for system-involved youth that have experienced grief and loss.
