In recognition of Children’s Grief Awareness Day, this virtual panel features professionals who experienced the death of someone significant during their own childhood. Panelists will reflect on what they needed from the adults around them, what was helpful, and what they wish had been different.

Through lived experience and professional insight, the conversation will explore how childhood grief shapes the way we support children and families who are grieving today. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of how small, intentional actions can make a meaningful difference in a child’s grief journey.

This webinar is free to attend with your registration.
