Learning from Loss: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Supporting Grieving Students

Written by Brittany R. Collins

Narrated by Marlee Bunch

Grief and grieving apply to anyone experiencing loss, even if that loss is not tied to a death. Though it may feel difficult to address the topics of grief and loss, as we return to school after an unprecedented year, it’s no longer a question of “if” or “should” but “when” and ”how.”

Learning from Loss is your guide to getting started with grief work, providing a path that can help you determine the best course of action in the wake of a loss that impacts a student or school community. You will find research, stories, strategies, activities, and reflection questions that offer a map with which to navigate grief-responsive classroom practices. Brittany includes suggestions for collaborating with a school counselor or other trained intervention professional should you have access to one, as well as alternatives if you do not. 

You can create a trauma-informed, grief-responsive classroom. Read Learning for Loss and discover tools that will help you make a difference in the lives of your students while protecting your own needs as well.
