Brown Family Center to host national webcast on children’s grief

In honor of Children’s Grief Awareness Month (November), the David C. Brown Funeral Home and the Brown Family Center, in conjunction with the National Alliance for Grieving Children (NAGC) will host a national webcast on children’s grief at 11 a.m., Nov. 8.
Featuring nationally recognized leaders in the field of childhood bereavement, the educational webcast is geared towards professionals in the fields of funeral services, clergy, hospice care, health care, education, mental health, child welfare, and bereavement support.
Death, dying, and bereavement are unfortunate themes that appear almost daily in news headlines. Rarely is there any discussion on a national level as to how community tragedy impacts the lives of children and teenagers.
This webcast will provide insight into the challenges faced by children and teenagers impacted by a community tragedy. Presenters will provide practical information and advice for supporting children and teenagers in the aftermath of a tragedy.
They will share information about how to talk to children about tragedy, how to engage the community, and ways to offer support throughout the grieving process.
This free event on runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Brown Family Center. Light refreshments will be served. Space is limited, so RSVP by Monday, Nov. 5.
Three CEU’s are available for this event at a cost of $30. Those qualified for CEU’s are Psychologists, Counselors, MFT’s, and Social Workers.
