✨ “Teach children to truly understand their grief – and guide them with confidence and impact.”
📌 Course: child mourning in practice
Grief in children is often invisible. But it is there. And it requires someone who sees it, understands it and dares to name it.
In this practical online course, you will learn how to professionally and empathically guide children through their grieving process – at school, in your practice or in everyday contact.
