Supporting Adolescents through Grief and Loss
This workshop will examine the factors that influence an adolescent while grieving.
Bereavement and loss in the life of an adolescent is seen as off time and demands the reorganisation of their assumptive world and how they view themselves, others and life. It evokes grief responses which can be intense. The most frequent deaths adolescents experience are those of parents, siblings or peers. The responses to their loss will depend on their age, the nature of the death, their relationship with the deceased, their personalities, how the family grieves and the changes the death creates in the family.
