The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools, in partnership with the Wendt Center, is offering a training on facilitating school-based groups for children and youth who have experienced grief, loss, and trauma to members of our DC School Behavioral Health Community of Practice (DC CoP).

Helping Children and Youth Heal in a New Era of Grief

Children and adolescents are impacted by grief at astounding numbers. Recent data estimates that over 200,000 children have experienced the death of a caregiver due to COVID. And we know that many more have experienced caregiver death due to other illness, accidents and community violence. The prior school-year saw a significant increase in the number of children/adolescents reporting the death of someone important to them. We know grief has entered schools in record numbers. And, when a child or adolescent experiences the death of someone important, their entire world is impacted, and important questions can surface. Who will take care of me? Will I remember this person? Why did this happen?

Adults who understand the developmental impact of grief and can provide appropriate support are central to the healing process in children and adolescents.

The training will be offered in three connected parts (1A, 1B and 1C), each segment taking 3.5 hours and each qualifying for 3 CEs

Instructor: Megan Broderick, LICSW
