GOOD GRIEF WORKSHOP
FOR CHILDREN AND TEENS
Natalie Segall and Jillian Lucht are honoured to coordinate the Good Grief Workshop for Children and Teens under the umbrella of Good Grief Central. This free biannual workshop is designed for children and adolescents ages 5–19 who have experienced the death of someone significant in their lives.
Grief can be especially confusing and isolating for young people. Many children struggle to find the words to express their feelings, while parents and caregivers may feel uncertain about how best to support them. Our workshop provides a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment where grieving children and teens can begin to understand and express their emotions in healthy and meaningful ways.
Participants are placed in age-specific groups led by trained volunteers experienced in supporting bereaved children and adolescents. Through carefully structured activities, discussion, creative expression, and peer interaction, participants are encouraged to share their feelings, connect with other grieving young people, learn from one another, and honour the memory of the person who died. Children often discover a profound sense of relief in realizing that they are not alone in their grief.
At the same time, we offer a concurrent Parent and Guardian Discussion Group, providing caregivers with an opportunity to explore the unique challenges of children’s grief, share experiences with others, and gain insight into how to support grieving young people with sensitivity and understanding.
Our hope is that every child, teen, and family who attends will leave feeling heard, supported, and less alone.
Please feel free to contact Natalie Segall or Jillian Lucht at any time for further information about upcoming workshops or the registration process.
