Imagine Learning Foundation Grant for Learning Grief

Exciting news for the on-going quest to create a more grief-aware society:

To expand on WPSU’s forerunner multimedia project, Speaking Grief, Imagine Learning Foundation has awarded WPSU a $100,000 grant to support the creation of Learning Grief, a free website, supplemented with community workshops and at-home learning materials, that will teach understanding and skills to support grieving children. Bereavement is the most common, and often overlooked, trauma suffered by children, and closely tied to poor academic performance. Learning Grief will provide age-appropriate lessons to help children navigate emotions dealing with grief and teach families and communities how to recognize grief and support children to deal with this trauma.
