About The Format

This program is taught in four 2.5 hour long sessions offered once a week. There is reading and assignments in between sessions. HCWL Groups are not drop in style groups. All GRM programs are structured and action oriented.


A Note From The Presenter:

When children don’t receive healthy tools to navigate the pain and confusion of loss, they often cope the only ways they know how—by pushing their feelings down or acting them out.
Over time, this can show up as self‑harm, aggression, substance use, eating struggles, school avoidance, heightened anxiety, depression, and other patterns that temporarily relieve pain but create deeper challenges.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, educator, or professional who supports children, this course offers practical, evidence‑based tools to help young people process any type of loss—tangible or intangible—in a healthy, connected way.

In this course, you will explore:
* Why children and teens often struggle after loss

* How grief, change, and transition impact behavior and emotional development

* The link between loss and social challenges, academic difficulties, and disruptive behaviors

* How to support children who repeat the same stories or seem “stuck” in their grief

* Common communication patterns that unintentionally shut children down—and what to do instead

DETAILS

When my oldest was a freshman in high school, he suffered a trauma at the hands of a close friend and as a result was diagnosed with PTSD. This event had a significantly negative impact on our son and our family as we fought for him to stay with us here on earth and he worked to begin healing from all the losses he had experienced. These losses included loss of trust, loss of safety, loss of friends and support. Years after this event, I found myself unable to fully move on as I was so angry. I didn't realize it at the time but I was experiencing grief over the loss of what I thought life should have been like for our son and...
