This course is designed to help teachers, administrators, and guidance counselors effectively support students through a time of difficult times including loss.  Virtually all those who work with children PK-12 are faced with the challenges of helping students as they experience marital separation, death of a family member or friend, or local tragedy. Through active discussions, reading current research, and reflective practice, participants will deepen their understanding of effective interventions and strengthen their abilities to support students. Multicultural factors, diverse learning challenges, and various educational settings will be explored.
