• This module is an introductory module into supporting, parenting, and working with children and teenagers who have experienced a or multiple deaths. This may be the death of a parent, grand parent, friend, other relative, sibling, teacher, pet, and so forth. Whilst, there are lots of aspects which can be creatively applied to areas of divorce or separation. This is not specifically focused on that area. Also, more specific types of death, such as suicide and murder, are mentioned; and many of the tools discussed are very relevant and applicable to those experiences but this is not specifically catered for those children. • This module has been created in the context of the pandemic, so this is mentioned, and the area of grief and loss feels more highlighted at the moment. However, this module is about death and grief previous to covid, during and from covid, and after from covid-related things or other ones- so it is much broader. • The ideas discussed are suitable for all ages as there is something for everyone including parents, carers, and the team around the child. However, the majority of activities will be most useful for age 6 upwards. This will vary depending on the specific stage of the child. There are many that are relevant for teenagers and adults as well. • It has a focus on direct work and creative tools. So, it is particularly of interest for those who will be open to making and creating. Although there are also lots of tips and tools around talking and ways of being. • It is suitable for therapists, social workers, teachers, parents, carers, residential works and anyone else supporting directly or indirectly children or have experienced a or multiple deaths.
Nope absolutely not. It is presented in bite size chunks ranging from 2 minutes to 24. This is purposely done to allow for people to dip in and dip out and to watch it in whichever way suits their learning style and the situation in which they are in. it is also intended that people pause, practice the exercises, reflect on them, discuss, and so forth. People may want to revisit and repeat them as well. There is a video clip about optimising the ways of absorbing the material. Also, there is no need to do all the activities- there is simply a range offered so that there is room for flexibility, choice, and adapting it to the individual. Also, there is no prescriptive order to work things through as the module acknowledges that everyone is unique and that it also will depend on the relationship with the child, the skillset and the knowledge of the person supporting the child, the context, the timing etc. So, it is advised to go through the modules and pick and choose what might work and to review and reflect on these.
• The material is primarily aimed at one to one sessions and spaces with a child or a teenager, so, that it can be tailor made and adapted safely due to the complexity and pain of the loss. However, many of the tools and techniques can be used and adapted for group work. And this has been done very successfully. In terms of classroom work. Lots of the things to say or not to say and top tips of ways to being and talking about feelings can be very useful and are relevant. However, unless it is a death of a student or teacher which relates to the whole class, I wouldn’t generally suggest doing too much of the activities as a whole class as they can be overwhelming and not allow the space to attend to each child and their specific needs.
