Wednesday, October 14, 2026, 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM CDT
Category: Training

Grief is a universal experience, but for children in the child welfare system, loss is often layered and complex. This training explores how grief impacts emotions and behaviors, from the death of loved ones to separation from family. Participants will gain strategies for supporting children and families through the grieving process in ways that foster healing and resilience. With compassion and practical tools, this course helps providers walk alongside those navigating one of life’s most difficult challenges.

"The training helped me recognize that grief is often expressed through behavior, not just words."

"The content challenged me to look beyond behaviors and consider whether grief may be the underlying cause."

"I left with a greater appreciation for the role grief plays in child and family well-being."
