Presented by Sue Lawrence, M.A., M.Ed.

INTERMEDIATE LEVEL | 1 HOUR | SELF-PACED | NON-INTERACTIVE |  RECORDED SEPTEMBER 2024

Behavioral and emotional consequences to loss will be explained, both as immediate responses and long-term ramifications. Factors that influence bereavement, such as relationships, personal traits, and circumstances of the loss will also be discussed. Practical suggestions on how to support these children after a loss will then be offered.

This course is tailored to benefit educators, clinicians, therapists, and other professionals working with young children seeking to enhance learning and engagement during early childhood development.
