Helping Adolescents Cope with Loss
Starting from $
Adolescence, broadly defined, from middle school years to emerging adulthood, is a significant developmental period during which adolescents form identity, independence, and intimacy. Illness and loss profoundly influences these processes. Moreover, adolescent encounters with loss are likely to be traumatic – deaths by accident, suicide, and homicide. This program focuses exclusively on the issues that adolescents face as they cope with loss and explores the ways that healthcare workers, hospices, educators, social workers, counselors, clergy, funeral directors, and other professionals can assist adolescents as they cope with loss. Expert Panelists:

Dr. Yopp, who also authored The Group: Seven Widowed Fathers Reimagine Life (Oxford University Press), will present on recent research efforts to learn about these bereaved families and on clinical efforts designed specifically to support widowed parents.
