The pandemic contributed to so much change, loss, and grief. Seemingly, the whole world has been grieving, including our children. If we continue down the path of misinformation about grief, more and more people will struggle with unresolved grief. The Grief Recovery Institute has the only evidenced based grief recovery program to date, based on research conducted through Kent University.
In this session, you will learn about the six common myths of grief and STERBS (short-term energy relieving behaviors) from an Advanced Grief Recovery Method Specialist. Participants will also learn about the stages of grief in a different perspective than what was taught in graduate school. Finally, after getting some psychoeducation on grief, participants will then learn helpful and actionable tools to help children through loss and how to help people of all ages resolve unresolved grief.
