This 4-week program is designed to teach parents, and others who work with children, the necessary tools to help children effectively deal with their broken hearts, no matter the loss they are facing.
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:
Children are grieving every day — this program equips the adults in their lives to understand, respond, and support them with confidence and compassion.

When you were a child, were your difficult feelings supported — or shamed?
When life changed or loss occurred, were you guided through the emotional impact, or expected to simply move on?
Most adults who care deeply about children were never taught how to help young people navigate grief, change, and life transitions. Yet children experience loss every day — through death, divorce, relocation, friendship changes, academic struggles, illness, family disruption, and other significant life events.
After more than 25 years as an educator, I have seen how children’s unmet emotional experiences often appear as behaviors adults struggle to understand. When feelings are unsupported or minimized, children may learn to hide emotions rather than process them in healthy ways. We and they both suffer with this inability to communicate what is really hurting them.
Helping Children with Loss is an evidence-informed educational program designed to give adults practical tools and confidence to support grieving children with compassion and clarity.
Participants will learn how to:
• Recognize how grief presents differently in children
• Understand the connection between loss and behavior
• Create emotionally safe and responsive environments
• Listen without fixing, minimizing, or judging feelings
• Support children in expressing emotions in healthy ways
• Normalize grief as a natural and lifelong human experience
When children feel safe expressing their feelings, they return to their natural curiosity, connection, and capacity for joy — knowing they are supported and valued even when emotions are difficult.
Together, we can move grief out of secrecy and silence and into understanding, connection, and care.
Grief is not a problem to solve.
It is a natural part of being human — and every child deserves adults who understand that.
