Almost 70% of teachers says that they had at least one grieving student in their classroom in the past year. (The American Federation of Teachers, 2018)

​

Grieving children and teens spend a vast majority of their time in school. Schools have said it is imperative for personnel in schools to understand the needs of grieving youth so they can receive the support they need to be successful during the school day and in their future endeavors. We offer a "Navigating Through Grief" workshop just for this. Our workshop is not only beneficial for staff, but it also proves beneficial to students as well. Students grieving after the loss of a loved one may experience academic difficulties, including trouble concentrating in class, withdrawal, less classroom participation, and/or absenteeism. We can support students and staff through our workshop by exploring coping strategies, self-care techniques, and providing education to assist oneself in their healing process and their peers as well. 

​

Our staff is available to provide a workshop to teachers, administrators, counsellors, and students at the school site or virtually so that everyone within can help adapt to life without the loved one who passed and perform at their ideal level academically and socially.
