Teens who have experienced the death of parent, grandparent, friend
or relative often find it difficult to grieve openly. When adults
who teens trust are aware of the cycle of grief, they can provide a
safe atmosphere to allow teens to experience the turmoil of the
intense and conflicting emotions in order to move towards healing.
This book is a valuable guide, helping adults connect with grieving
teens. The reader will find background information along with many
specific activities to help teens reflect upon and talk about their
particular concerns. Issues of grief are introduced through
drawing, molding clay, painting, movement, writing, listening to
music, as well as talking in pairs and as a group. In addition, new
activities incorporate the various dimensions of the grieving
process with audio-visual materials and the Internet.
The second edition of "Helping Teens Work Through Grief" provides a
more complete and updated manual for facilitators of teen grief
groups. It includes additional background information about
developmental aspects of teens, the process of grief, aspects of
trauma and its effects on teens, the value of a group, determining
the group-appropriateness of particular teens, and parental
involvement. The many details involved with beginning a group -
publicity, interviews, registration, structure, closure,
evaluation, and follow-up - are listed.
This resource provides teachers, counselors, psychologists, social
workers, hospice personnel and religious youth workers with the
necessary information to work with teens in a group setting or
support a grieving individual. In a less formal setting, "Helping
Teens Work Through Grief" could also serve as a guidefor a
concerned neighbor or family member who is in a position to help a
grieving teen on the healing journey towards wholeness.
