Recognition of National Children's & Teens' Grief Awareness Month
November is National Children’s and Teens' Grief Awareness Month, designed to raise awareness of the impact that the death of a family member has on the life of a child or teen. Staff from The Children's Room (TCR), a local nonprofit organization, will be partnering with counseling staff from our school to host activities and an awareness table during lunch this Friday, November 21. Students who would like to participate will have the opportunity to anonymously honor or support someone. All students and staff are encouraged to wear blue on Friday to show support for their friends and classmates who have experienced grief. The Children’s Room has resources for caregivers and also provides free grief support services for children, teens and families.
