Helping Children Deal With Loss This is a 4 session course for adults designed to teach them what to say & do and what not to say and do around children who have experienced emotional loss through death, divorce, separation etc. Sessions are approx. 2 hours long and offer a mix of teaching, group discussion and practical work.

Between sessions participants will be asked to read sections of the book and complete an assignment taking about 45- 90 minutes depending on reading speed.
At the end of the 4 sessions participants will: Have increased confidence and skill when talking to children/young people about grief and loss and/or who have had emotional loss. Understand the 6 myths of grief and how they impede healing Be able to recognise grief symptoms and behaviours Be able to identify unresolved, incomplete or undelivered emotional communications Understand the Recovery Components
