General Training Programs
Although no one would ever wish a child to suffer a loss, the Good Grief Program's premise is that in the crisis of loss lies an opportunity for developing and strengthening coping skills in all children. If young people can accomplish the four psychological tasks of understanding, grieving, commemorating and going on, then their grief can be "good grief", one that actually empowers them to cope with future losses. Although our training takes us into a variety of settings, our principal work is assisting schools; that is, training teachers and assisting teams in developing crisis protocols or plans of action before a loss occurs.
As you plan your school training calendar, remember that the Good Grief Program specializes in tailoring our workshops to fit your particular school's needs. As always, our staff at the Good Grief Program is available to assist your staff on site should a school or community crisis arise.
