Lecture: Grief in Children and Adolescents

What's it about?

This evening, we want to provide insight into the world of grieving children and adolescents, also based on personal experience, and raise awareness of their way of mourning. Mindful support for children and adolescents in grief. There is often little knowledge about how to deal with grieving people, and this uncertainty makes mourning more difficult. This evening, you will strengthen your skills in dealing with children and adolescents in grief. When dealing with mourners, the guiding principle of first aid applies — you can never do as much wrong as when you look away. Nevertheless, for many people who have experienced a loss, there is also a loss of their environment. Friends and relatives often fear doing something wrong or fear the grief and therefore avoid the mourners. Children and adolescents often experience and live through grief differently than adults. This evening, we want to draw attention to this. In addition to personal experiences, we will show results from current grief research and have invited guests with expertise in grief work with children and adolescents, such as from the association Wolfsträne e.V. in Germany. After the lecture, there will be time for questions and discussion.
