Managing Grief and Loss for Children with Melissa Moore-Tullamore Library

Managing Grief and Loss for Children with Melissa Moore

Beneficial for parents, teachers, childcare staff and anyone working with children, in this insightful talk by Melissa Moore, Accredited Play and Creative Arts Therapist we will explore how grief shows up in children of different ages, how to recognise when they’re struggling, and how to support them in ways that are developmentally appropriate and emotionally safe.

Grief isn’t just about death — children can grieve many kinds of losses, from the passing of a loved one or pet, to moving house or changing schools. Explore how grief shows up in children of different ages, how to recognise when they’re struggling, and how to support them in ways that are developmentally appropriate and emotionally safe. You’ll learn practical strategies to help your child express their feelings, how grief may impact behaviour, sleep and school, and when to seek extra support. This talk will give you confidence in your ability to walk beside your child through their grief with empathy, language and understanding.
