Parenting While Grieving
We offer a psycho-educational 8-week series called Parenting While Grieving to parents and/or caregivers who are parenting children and teens who have had a parent die.
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.
There is no cost to this series, but space is limited. This is not a drop-in group and a commitment to all eight sessions is requested. An intake must be completed before attendance.
In this 8-week, evidence-based series, we will explore:
- The impact of death and loss on children
- A developmental understanding of the grief process
- Strategies for managing the challenges of parenting over time
- The importance of self-care and support for the parent/caregiver
- Listening, responding, and communicating
- Commemoration of the person who died by all family members
- For some, parenting while navigating their own grief
We will practice the essential parenting skills of listening, expressing, problem-solving, setting limits, and self-care within the context of a grieving family.
If you are interested in the series or have any questions, please contact us at [email protected] or 781-641-4741.
