How to Support People Grieving a Death: Do's & Dont'sLifelong Learningin observance of National Grief Awareness Day on August 30 Jonathan Asher is offering this class to our community on September 1 and on October 5. Please register if you are looking for help for guidance to support someone you know who is grieving a loss. Do you know someone who is grieving? What should you say? What should you do? Even with the best of intentions, most people struggle to find the right words or deeds to support those they're close to who are grieving a loss. Feeling uncomfortable, or fearing they'll make the person feel worse, they simply do nothing - which adds a sense of abandonment to the grief and leaves the griever struggling even more. This 2-hour workshop will help people be more comfortable and better able to support the grievers they care about. It is intended for friends, family, or community members who want to learn how to support children, young adults, or adults who have experienced the death of a loved one. This workshop will: Provide an understanding of what grief is and how it manifests. Introduce meaningful steps for supporting someone who is grieving. Inform as to what to say and what to avoid and suggest actions that are truly helpful This course is being offered online. You will receive the Zoom link once you register. Students ages 10+ are welcome to attend with an adult. Both adult and child must register and pay. 16+ may attend alone.

How to Talk to Children about Death & DyingLifelong LearningChildren become aware of death at the sighting of their first dead bug or bird while exploring their surroundings. Taking these natural occurrences, adults can build a foundation of knowledge for children of all ages. Talking about death can feel overwhelming or scary, but it doesn’t have to be. Whether it is the death of a pet or a human loved one, we will discuss how to start a conversation with children, and ways to add information based on an individual child’s age and development. We will discuss recommended words and language, and things to consider when having these conversations. We will discuss children's comprehension of death and typical behaviors grieving children may exhibit. We will share recommended resources and give opportunities to ask questions. This class will be helpful to adults whether they have children, or spend time with children (eg: family members, schools or childcare). We want everyone to feel prepared to have these conversations. This class is virtual/online. 16+ may attend alone. __________________________________________________________________ Please read our Adult Programming Overview page for all info regarding registration, cancellation, and building info.
