for acknowledging children's voices, separating fact from fiction
about environmental issues, encouraging participation in activism,
creating tools to reduce stress, and highlighting inspirational
role models and organizations for action. The book includes
firsthand examples, research, children's work, interviews, and
terminology. It also shares age-appropriate resources and websites
relating to climate change and challenges. Filling a large void in
the literature on this topic, this essential resource offers
techniques and tools that professionals and caring adults can use
to address the stresses associated with climate change and offer
strategies for hope, resilience, and action.
While many books and current research in the field of child
psychotherapy focus on typical psychiatric conditions faced by
children and the associated treatments for those conditions, there
is a paucity of information on treating vulnerable demographics and
unique child populations. These include, but are not limited to,
children affected by natural disasters, complex trauma, and
obsessive-compulsive disorder. Play Therapy with Vulnerable
Populations: No Child Forgotten provides the latest
research-supported, play-based interventions for clinicians to
utilize with these children. This book encourages the reader
through real-world application case studies to honor the
significance of the therapeutic relationship and balance humanism
and therapeutic warmth with evidence-based practices.
The second edition of this bestselling book is designed for mental
health professionals, educators, and the parent/caregiver, this
book provides specific ideas and techniques to work with children
in various areas of complicated grief. It presents words and
methods to help initiate discussions of these delicate topics, as
well as tools to help children understand and separate complicated
grief into parts. These parts in turn can be grieved for and
released one at a time. A new chapter is included, called
"Communities Grieve: Involvement with Children and Trauma." It
includes information on The Taiwan Earthquake and how the community
worked with children, a school bus accident in which 36 elementary
school children witnessed the death of the bus driver that was
driving and how the school system worked with these children and
their families; a boy who was running on a cross country team and
got hit by a car, which was witnessed by teammates; and how a
non-profit community grief agency worked with family, school, and
community. The last study is from the Oklahoma bombing and the
outgrowth of a place for the traumatized children and how they
still work with kids and family today. This chapter then contains
new activities to work with traumatized grieving children. The new
edition also includes updated resources, books, curriculums,
websites, hotlines and another new chapter on bullying and
victimization issues. The chapter for educators has been expanded,
including the coverage of topics such as at-risk students, gay and
lesbian issues, and self-injurious behaviors.
Many clinicians recognize that denying or ignoring grief issues in
children leaves them feeling alone and that acknowledging loss is
crucial part of a child's healthy development. Really dealing with
loss in productive ways, however, is sometimes easier said than
done. For decades, Life and Loss has been the book clinicians have
relied on for a full and nuanced presentation of the many issues
with which grieving children grapple as well as an honest
exploration of the interrelationship between unresolved grief,
educational success, and responsible citizenry. The third edition
of Life and Loss brings this exploration firmly into the
twenty-first century and makes a convincing case that children's
grief is no longer restricted only to loss-identified children.
Children's grief is now endemic; it is global. Life and Loss is not
just the book clinicians need to understand grief in the
twenty-first century-it's the book they need to work with it in
constructive ways.

Death is never an easy subject for discussion and adults often
struggle to find the right words when talking about it with
children. This book explores children's thoughts and feelings on
the subject of death and provides parents and other caring adults
with guidance on how to respond to difficult questions. The author
explores some of the most common questions children ask about death
and provides sensitive yet candid answers, phrased in a way that
children will be able to understand and relate to. Each chapter is
devoted to a particular issue, such as religious beliefs, coming to
terms with terminal illness, and the fear of forgetting someone
when they are gone. The book recognizes the emotions and reactions
of children and family members and includes separate conclusions
for parents and children. This guide offers useful advice for
parents and carers and will also be of interest to counsellors and
other professionals working with children.
It is increasingly challenging for teachers to educate without a
deeper understanding of the experience of their students. This is
particularly the case in marginalised groups of young people who
are subject to loss, grief, trauma and shame. Through a snapshot of
the diverse student populous, this book explores the impact of
these experiences on a student's learning and success. Topics
covered include poverty, obesity, incarceration, immigration,
death, sexual exploitation, LGBT issues, psychodrama, the
expressive arts, resilience, and military students. The authors
share the children's perspective, and through case studies they
offer solutions and viable objectives.
