Tips for Supporting Children in Dealing with Grief

A free guide on supporting children in dealing with grief, in collaboration with The National College.

It’s important that trusted adults feel able to help children and young people cope with grief –particularly at the moment, when we are mourning the loss of a public figure who was cherished by so many. Children are seeing bereavement and sadness being featured heavily the national news and in their favourite online spaces, and hearing it being talked about extensively among families and in the community. How can we help them in processing grief healthily at this potentially upsetting time?

In the guide, from National Online Safety, you'll find tips such as understanding what grief is, encouraging coping strategies and reaching out for support.
