How to Help Grieving Children in the Classroom

“We see life as a cycle that begins with the birth of a newborn baby and ends with the death of an elderly person who has lived a long life. Unfortunately, as we all know, life is not that predictable.

Annually, 1 in 10 children will experience the death of a close family member. Are you prepared to deal with a child in your classroom who is grieving?

Dealing with death is not easy. It is probably something you would not have pictured yourself and your class having to face. This booklet is designed to give teachers and other school personnel facts about how children grieve and to offer practical classroom interventions that are helpful to the grieving student and their fellow classmates.” (The above is an excerpt from the booklet)

The booklets are available for purchase by completing the Order Form found under Literature & Materials on the website, or by contacting Margie Doran at 513-745-0111 or marjorie_doran@trihealth.com. Cost: $3.00 each
