Cancelled- Highmark Caring Place: Supporting students, staff, and ourselves in the aftermath of crisis and loss

November 2, 2023

This session will outline some of the common adjustment reactions among children in the aftermath of crisis and loss and practical suggestions that educators can use to support students to help promote their adjustment and describe the importance of and basic principles of psychological first aid.  The distinction between trauma and grief will be highlighted and practical advice provided on how to support grieving students.  Free resources for addressing these issues from the Coalition to Support Grieving Students will be shared.  Adults are generally impacted by school and community crisis events at least as much as the students; this session will underscore the importance of professional self-care and introduce some related considerations.  Time will be devoted to questions and discussion.
