Description
This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively help young children cope with divorce and death.
Changes to the family structure, like divorce and separation, can be confusing, frightening, or devastating for young children. Similarly, when children encounter death, they need the opportunity to ask questions and share their fears, sadness, and loss with people they trust.
This course will be divided into two parts:
- Part 1 - Coping with Divorce
- Part 2 - Coping with Death
