I would highly recommend this class to educators. This is a resource driven class that gives you lots of tools working with grieving students and families. The teacher is amazing and has expertise in the field and gives practical exercises to use right away. When you leave the class, you will be able to work with grieving students in the moment of first grief and be able to provide ongoing support.
