Grief and Loss Group

Group Information

The purpose of group counseling is not to have children disclose personal family matters. Rather its purpose is to help students understand that there are different dynamics in each family

(death of a parent, parental separation/divorce, blended families, single parent households, etc). This group will help children:

  1. understand their own feelings and realize that other schoolmates have similar experiences and feelings;

  2. learn skills to express their feelings in constructive ways and to cope positively with the changes in their lives;

  3. appreciate the positive aspects of these changes.
