Learn about the unique ways that children experience grief and trauma, and how victim service providers and allied professionals can best serve children suffering from grief. Topics include:
- Recognizing the signs of grief and trauma in children who either: a) experience vicarious grief and trauma through the homicidal/suicidal death of a family member or by witnessing violence in the home, or b) experience violence themselves and have symptoms of trauma and grief as a result.
- Effective ways to intervene with children experiencing grief, especially if the child is reluctant to discuss the events.
- How victim service providers can assist the families of children who are dealing with grief and trauma.
