To watch a child grieve and not know what to do is a profoundly difficult experience. This 6-week program, offered in both a one-on-one and group formats, is primarily for parents and other guardians of grieving children who have been affected by a significant loss, like the death of a parent, grandparent, sibling, or someone else important to them, the divorce of the child’s parents or grandparents, or pet death to more everyday experiences such as moving to a new neighborhood or losing a prized possession.

This program is also valuable for counselors, therapists, teachers, and anyone else who interacts with children on a regular basis.

Our alternative to traditional one-on-one grief and loss counseling is to teach you how to guide your children in completing their relationship to the pain, isolation, and loneliness caused by a significant loss of any kind.

There are many myths about dealing with sad emotions that confuse children: time heals all wounds, cry alone, bury your feelings, don't feel bad...have a cookie and you'll feel better. In this program, using When Children Grieve: For Adults to Help Children Deal with Death, Divorce, Pet Loss, Moving, and Other Losses by John W. James and Russell Friedman, as the reference book, you will learn how to replace these myths with practical guidance for your children.
