A Child’s Grief – Helping Children Navigate the Experience of Serious Illness, Death, and Loss
A Child’s Grief – Helping Children Navigate the Experience of Serious Illness, Death, and Loss
Presenter: Beth Vogel MN, MPH, PNP, CHPPN, Founder and Principal, ORION Pediatric End of Life Training and Consultation. Children are not supposed to die, but sometimes they do. While most hospice professionals are very competent and comfortable caring for adults, few have that same level of expertise and confidence in caring for children. Beth founded ORION to provide customized training to close that gap.
Description: Serious illness and death are extraordinarily difficult for adults to manage– how on earth do we help children and adolescents navigate them? Through thoughtful intention and being present with the child, adults can support children in ways that can be transformational for all. Join us as we address children’s understanding and responses to death, grief and loss at different developmental levels, and explore strategies and activities to help adults talk about loss with children and teens. Given the universality of loss, this webinar will be helpful to professionals or family members caring for grandparents, parents, or children themselves, and will be useful whether the child herself is sick, or has a sibling, parent or grandparent who is dying, or has experienced loss through other separation (e.g. divorce or a parent’s incarceration).
