Children and Grief Workshop 2021 End-of-Life Conference Series
Recorded on : Thursday, September 16th, 2021
This event sponsored by:
In the state of Arizona, 1 in 14 children will experience the death of a parent or a sibling by the time they turn 18.
Adults often struggle to find the resources to help these children cope with their loss. This workshop will cover the different ways in which children grieve and special factors to consider when supporting a grieving child or teen. It is designed to provide tips and resources to help family members and other adults who work closely with the youth in our community learn how to be present and supportive to grieving children and teens.
Presented by:
Amanda Marks, Community Impact Director at Tu Nidito
Amanda earned her Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Colorado-Boulder and she earned her MSW from Columbia University. Amanda worked as a pediatric oncology social worker at The Children's Hospital Colorado where she helped families cope with the emotional aspects of a child's cancer diagnosis. In 2007, she began working at Tu Nidito to support families impacted by a serious medical condition or death. As the Community Impact Director, Amanda provides grief education to schools and community agencies in an effort to increase awareness and understanding about childhood grief.
