When a child or teen experiences a loss, we are often unsure what to say or do, especially since grief manifests differently depending on the child's developmental stage.
Join us for an interactive session with grief experts from The Children's Room and learn how grief shows up for kids and teens.
This virtual program will offer practical tips and tools about what to say/do and how to help when someone has experienced a loss.
The program will include an extended Q&A with participants.
Zoom webinar:

How do you stay curious when emotions are strong?
On March 12, you can join this engaging workshop with facilitator jamele adams to build skills for engaging in complex conversations - especially with people whose life experiences or perspectives differ from your own.
Together, we’ll practice how to show up with curiosity and self-awareness, even when conversations feel uncomfortable or perspectives don’t align.
This workshop is intended for adults and high school students and is sponsored by Winchester A Better Chance, Network for Social Justice, the John and Mary Murphy Educational Foundation
