Presented by Tanika Johnson, EdD, MA, LPC-MHSP, LMHC, NCC, BC-TMH, CCTP
VideoAudio
Course: #1349Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Too Young to Say Goodbye is Part II of the Young Survivors Traumatic Grief Series. In the aftermath of a suicidal death, school or community shooting, or related tragic event, adolescents are likely to receive the news via a media outlet, social media, friend, or family member. They seek answers to better cope with emotional distress and the unforgettable loss of a neighbor, friend, school faculty or staff, or loved one. For adolescents, there may be more significant implications for more detailed discussions about school and community safety and security, law enforcement, and legislators enacting laws to protect school districts, effectively regulating post-traumatic stress, and developing a new normal after a crisis. Throughout this training, participants will gain practical strategies for responding to adolescents who are faced with grief and tragic loss.
