“My friend’s mom died. What should I say to them?” How would you respond if a child or teen in your life asked you this question? If you’re not sure, you’re not alone. Most of us weren’t taught how to navigate the big feelings that come with loss, so how are we supposed to guide the young people in our lives as they support a peer through loss?

Learning Grief is a free online resource from WPSU that helps adults help kids and teens develop the skills to respond to their grieving peers with competence, confidence, and compassion. Created in collaboration with nationally recognized experts in trauma, grief, and child/adolescent psychology, this site provides tools for cultivating grief literacy and modeling effective support as well as classroom resources available through PBS LearningMedia.
