Helping Children With Loss
Wednesday, Jan. 07, 2026
The vast majority of parents find themselves at a loss when trying to help their children deal with any grieving experience that impacts them. 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.

Welcome,
Our evidence-based supportive education on "Helping Children with Loss" is about 2 hours/week, offered in a safe, compassionate and confidential environment for parents, caregivers, teachers, family members and all those who care for children, to take effective and lasting action, no matter the type of loss experienced. Finally get the tools to successfully guide children through grief and loss in a healing, healthy, whole and skilled way that is rarely ever modeled to us as children ourselves. We normally teach what we get taught, and this has caused major issues in us as we grow into adulthood with many misconceptions that are hurtful and non-supportive to our wellbeing and future relationships. We would love to have you join in to overcome old societal and incorrect belief patterns. By helping one child at a time, we can heal the world, and possibly your own inner child as well. These groups are led by Tassy Hennessy, LAc, Grief Recovery Method Specialists, trained and certified by the Grief Recovery Institute. The location of our meetings will be held at: 345 Santa Fe Dr, Encinitas, CA 92024.
This is a 4-week, in-person course designed to take the book reading, home activities and in-person classes at a weekly pace of one class a week. This is a facilitated course where the Grief Recovery Method skills are learned to better assist children with the tools that are provided for your understanding and growth. The activities you work on through the book readings and small home activities will be the actions that assist you in bringing this process of grief healing full circle to help heal your child's heart.
We will be using the book "When Children Grieve - For Adults to Help Children Deal with Death, Divorce, Pet Loss, Moving and Other Losses" by John W. James and Russell Friedman with Dr Leslie Landon Mathews. The book is included in the course as well as the printed homework lessons and you will have additional access to any other course materials, if you would like.
