We're LIVE with Andy McNiel next TUESDAY, September 10th! Have you registered for his training session yet? Andy has agreed to present a two-part webinar series in September and October on adolescent and childhood grief. Processing the loss of a loved one is complex. Yet, how often do we discuss the ways our youth in foster care and adoptees process grief? How does one grieve the loss of people who may still be living? Do we have an adequate framework to help young people process this particular form of grief? In Part 1: https://bit.ly/3ABH1a7, Andy McNeil will help give us a deeper understanding, and in Part 2: https://bit.ly/4g9Al3p we'll gain the tools to be the support our children need. https://lnkd.in/dHi5BGy7 https://lnkd.in/dHi5BGy7 . . . #grief #trauma #fostercare #adoption
