In this popular resource, best-selling author and international keynote speaker Liana Lowenstein outlines her most innovative therapeutic tools including games, art, and stories, to help children bereaved by all types of death-loss, including drug overdose, suicide, homicide, mass violence, line-of-duty-death, natural disasters, and serious illness. Some activities may be adapted for youth experiencing a non-death loss—for example, a parent who is incarcerated, parental military deployment, or placement in foster care. The activities can be used in a variety of settings, including in-person and virtual individual and family sessions, children’s grief support groups and camps. This thoroughly updated second edition incorporates up-to-date knowledge on childhood grief, many new activities, additional topic areas, a sample curriculum for children’s grief support groups, and reproducible handouts for caregivers. Geared to ages 7-12.
New to the Second Edition:
- Up-to-date theoretical information on childhood grief
- Revised intake questionnaire
- All new activities to help children safely express feelings, understand death and its finality, address anger and self-blame, commemorate the deceased, and learn coping strategies
- Special interventions for children bereaved by suicide, homicide, drug overdose, natural disasters, and other types of loss
- Techniques to help bereaved children process trauma responses
- Sample curriculum for children’s grief support groups
