Abstract

Has a student experienced the death of a loved one and struggled to find a balance weeks or months later?  Grief and loss are experienced by almost all students, and school counselors are there to provide the support students need in the school setting.  Come and learn about implementing a small group using mindfulness techniques to help students who are grieving.

Description

Participants will gain insight into the impact grief can have on the emotional/social and academic lives of students.

Participants will gain insight into the relevance of using mindfulness with grieving students.

Participants will gain the skill to develop a small group intervention for students in grades K-12 and how to differentiate mindfulness techniques for each developmental level.

The session will be a presentation from Prezi and also will utilize group discussion.  Handouts will be given so that participants will have the materials necessary to implement a six session small group for students.
