Holland, a UK based psychologist, presents an innovative training package designed for staff supporting children in schools and other settings who are experiencing bereavement or any other type of loss. Based on work with psychologists, teachers, social workers, and nurses, the book includes reproducible materials and instructions for more than a dozen training sessions covering core issues such as children's understanding of death and behavior changes due to a loss. Each training module includes group activities, templates for transparencies, handouts, and a bibliography.
