Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience for many of us. When someone we love dies or a relationship ends due to divorce or some other circumstance, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions.

The good news is, your grief does not have to be a life sentence. There are tools that can help you to move beyond the pain and heal your heart after loss.

Grief is an inevitable experience and one that is particularly difficult for young people to navigate. As educators, we often see our students in pain or hear about their losses, but are unsure of how to support them. Now more than ever, it is important that educators equip themselves with the emotional and intellectual tools to support their students in processing the impact of the losses associated to COVID-19.

In this workshop, you will learn about what grief is, the many causes of grief, including those losses related to COVID-19, the myths of grief, the normal and natural signs of grief, and how you can best support your students in transitioning through the pandemic.
