Helping Children with Grief & Loss Program

These are the things that our Helping Children with Loss Grief Recovery Method Programs have to offer:

  • Unlike the other programs offered by the Grief Recovery Institute, which focus on taking specific personal loss action, this is an educational program, designed to give you the tools to help children.
  • This approach allows you to work with a Grief Recovery Method Specialist, certified and trained by The Grief Recovery Institute, in a group educational setting with other parents and people working regularly with children.
  • Each of these four meetings will last roughly two and a half hours.
  • As part of this process, you will work with sample situations you will face in listening to a child and being able to offer effective assistance in dealing with their emotional feelings.
  • While you may come into this program with a specific loss that has impacted your child in mind, your Specialist will lead you through the process of looking at all of the emotional losses that could touch a child’s heart, and how to help them work through these issues.
  • Even though you are working in a group setting, your personal focus will be in learning how to work with your own child on an individual basis.
  • These groups include a weekly commitment to total honestly and absolute confidentiality, so that you can comfortably share your feelings.
  • As part of this process, we may sometimes break into small groups the cover the weekly assignments. If more than one family member attends this program, they will be in separate smaller groups, to assure a greater sense of privacy and the chance to better process what they are learning.
  • Your Advanced GRM Specialist will take you through each step of the Grief Recovery Method, utilizing the materials spelled out in “When Children Grieve,” as well as how to actually utilize this information in helping each child with their individual loss issues.
  • As with our other programs, your Advanced GRM Specialist will offer you a safe environment where you can share your feelings in total honesty, with absolute confidentiality assured.
