From recognising how children and young people grieve and the physiological impact of grief\, to supporting young children in coping with a return to ‘normal’ activities after suffering a loss\, this seminar will equip delegates with a clearer understanding of how to help. \nThe focus will be on the age range of 8-18 years\, but may go beyond these years to account for developmental variations. The session will also consider the child in the context of the boarding school ‘family’\, and the role pastoral staff in particular\, can play. \nTraining topics will include: \n\nPrevalence of childhood bereavement – in context\nUsual reactions to grief and developmental variations of grief\nTheories of grief\nThe roles that schools play in supporting bereaved children and young people\nCommunication – with the child\, family\, staff\, students\, and wider school community\nHelping children understand their feelings\nWhen to seek more help\nSelf-care.\n\nLearning outcomes: \n\nAn understanding of the impact of loss and bereavement on young people\, including the physical and psychological impact of grief\nRecommended actions to help children and young people understand their feelings\nSignposting to additional support and when to access this.\n\nBOOK NOW \n\nSpeaker: \nNicola Ellis-Jones\, Training Partnerships Practitioner\, Winston’s Wish.  \nAn experienced teacher and trainer of over 15 years\, Nicola also has a background in working with vulnerable families in the community\, having worked with both Women’s Aid\, and with the local Family Learning Team for Adult Education. \nAs a training partnerships practitioner for Winston’s Wish\, Nicola is part of a team who provides training for teachers\, youth workers and other professionals to enable them to better support grieving children and young people in their care. On average\, 1 in every 29 children will be bereaved of a parent or sibling – that’s one per class. \nWinston’s Wish was the UK’s first childhood bereavement charity\, and has been supporting bereaved children and young people for over 30 years\, providing emotional and practical bereavement support to children\, young people and those who care for them.
