Webinar: How to Talk to Children About Death and Grief
March 1, 2022, 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Eastern
There is a wide variation in the ways children of the same age understand death based on what they have experienced and what they already know about it. A child’s understanding of death often draws upon an ages and stages model, but there can be tremendous variability between children. This presentation will share four basic concepts to facilitate a child’s understanding about death and grief and offer resources for families and caregivers to help simplify the process.
This webinar is presented by the TAPS Institute for Hope and Healing®.
