Training Description
There is a lot of pain and suffering in our world, and youth, in particular, are often sensitive and in tune with the grief and challenges around them and in their lives. In this training, we will offer skills and practices for those who serve and support system involved youth to recognize the signs of grief, and expand their capacity to support grief tending for any big transitions and change, including but not exclusively around death and dying. We will learn mindfulness practices for grief as it arises in the moment, ongoing grief tending, and creative arts practices to support youth in navigating the grief they may be holding.
Learning Objectives
● Identify 5 signs of grief for system involved youth
● Acquire 3 mindfulness practices which can be used for grounding into multi-layered emotions
