 Short Course Overview: Supporting Children and Adolescents Experiencing Grief and Loss

This Online Short Course will consider loss and grief from the perspective of the needs of grieving children and adolescents. Young people have different needs to adults when they experience loss. Adults who provide care and support need to be sensitive to these unique needs. This course will explore the developmental changes in childhood and adolescence and a range of support strategies that can be effective when supporting grieving children and adolescents.

Learning Modules: at the Conclusion of this Short Course, participants should be able to:

• Understand grief and loss theory as it impacts upon the lives of children and adolescents
• Identify the impact and developmental needs of grieving children and adolescents and appreciate children’s concepts of death and how this impacts the grief process at different stages
• Identify effective strategies when providing support to grieving children and adolescents
• Understanding the development of the brain and an overview of trauma
 
Assessment: 

Students will need to engage with each module and complete the learning opportunities along the way. Whilst no formal assessment is required to complete the course, students will be required to score an average of 80% or above in the multiple choice quizzes to receive a certificate of completion to claim the 7 OPD hours offered by the ACA.

You will be required to complete the end of course survey to receive your Certificate of Completion.
