Helping Children Deal With Loss
Whether you are a parent, carer, teacher, grandparent, youth worker, social worker, health worker or otherwise involved in another way with children, you will know that sinking feeling when questions are asked about sad and painful emotions.
Types of loss
Loss can be when a child has been bereaved, is about to face a bereavement, significant emotional losses from parents divorce, changing school, bullying, being adopted, fostered and many other types of loss.
It is also a possibility that they may have been affected by a series of losses which individually might not appear to have a major life altering impact, yet may have caused some real changes in their life and behaviour. For example, moving house or a change of school and friendships, can have powerful, emotional consequences for a child.
Acclaimed educational programme
Established for over 30 years, the Grief Recovery Method®: Helping Children Deal With Loss Programme teaches you how to guide your children in completing their relationship to the pain, isolation and loneliness caused by a significant emotional loss of ANY kind.
The newly updated educational programme ‘Helping Children With Loss’ has been revised to just four sessions. The programme is available for parents and carers or for teachers / professionals and is now available to book in the Staffordshire area, lead by Jill Frampton - Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist. Visit the Courses & Events page on this website for available courses, more info and prices.
Often, we are left struggling for the right words, because sometimes, we ourselves don't know what to do either.
