School leadership resources for grief, bereavement and loss - based on the CofE Vision for Education:

• 'Never the Same'

 

We help children and young people (up to age 25), parents, and families, to rebuild their lives when a child grieves or when a child dies. We also provide training to professionals, equipping them to provide the best possible care to bereaved families:

Here are some booklets to work through when a child has been bereaved, they are age related:

• Bereavement Booklet - Under 5s
• Bereavement Booklet - 6-11s
• Bereavement Booklet - 12+

 

In partnership with an experienced school chaplain, this booklet has been put together by Church Army to help youth workers help young people who have been bereaved during the Covid 19 crisis.

It offers practical steps and a thoughtful approach, all shaped by years of experience of helping young people through grief.
