MASTERCLASS: THE GRIEVING ADOLESCENT
The Grieving Adolescent, Dr Michael Carr-Gregg 1:08
WATCH HERE
When adolescents experience a death, workers with young people in health education and welfare are often concerned about how best to support and meet their needs. After 30 years of working with teenagers, Michael maintains that adolescents express and process grief in a variety of ways depending on their age, personality, past experience of loss, support systems, and the context of the bereavement.
This masterclass is designed to help participants to understand and support adolescents to navigate their grief experience. The class will cover:
The historical perspective on loss and grief
The most common grief responses in young people
The signs that a young person is not coping and should seek professional support
Explains how to listen and talk with the bereaved adolescent
How to encourage young people to gather stories and memories of the person
How to provide support leading up to anniversaries
Michael believes that with good information, love and support, adolescents can learn to understand and work with their grief.
