Parenting While Grieving
Parenting While Grieving is a 6-week psycho-educational group series offered online to adults who are parenting children and teens who have had a parent die. All groups are currently held over Zoom.
In this 6-week, evidence-based series, we will explore:
- The impact of death and loss on children
- A developmental understanding of the grief process
- The importance of self-care and support for the parent/caregiver
- Strategies for managing the challenges of parenting over time
- Listening, responding, and effective communication
- Navigating holidays and commemoration of the person who died
- The layers, of loss, and for some, parenting while navigating their own grief as well as thier children’s grief
The way in which the surviving parent or caregiver is coping with the death is a major factor in how well a child will cope over time. Given this, we will introduce weekly coping skills for you to try over time. We will also practice the essential parenting skills of listening, expressing, problem-solving, setting limits, and self-care within the context of a grieving family.
There is no cost to this series, but space is limited. This is not a drop-in group and a commitment to all six sessions to this virtual group is requested. An intake must be completed before attendance.
