Bo’s Place is hosting a free live viewing of a community workshop presented by the National Alliance of Grieving Children entitled “Understanding the Impact of Death, Dying, and Bereaved among Urban Youth Populations.”
Death, dying, and bereavement in urban communities are themes that appear almost daily in news headlines. Rarely, however, is there any discussion on a national level as to how this impacts the lives of children and teenagers living in urban communities. Death in the family and in the community has a huge impact on the daily lives of urban youth.
This presentation will provide insight into the challenges faced by urban children and teenagers grieving the death of people in their lives and in their communities. A panel of three professionals living and working with children and teenagers in high need urban communities will share their personal experience working with this population. They will also share information about the impact of grief on the lives of urban youth, and provide insight into how to help bereaved youth in the urban community in culturally informed and sensitive ways.
