About this resource
Ready to print and use.
The Child Grief & Bereavement Therapist Toolkit is a 40-page practitioner-facing clinical resource for qualified child therapists, psychologists, counselors, bereavement practitioners, school mental health clinicians, and other appropriately trained professionals supporting children and families after a death.
The workflow keeps the child's questions, developmental understanding, loss context, family and school change, clinical uncertainty, and current function visible. It distinguishes grief from possible traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and other concerns without using a diagnostic algorithm or presenting grief as a fixed sequence.
The resource does not require memory work, disclosure, spiritual interpretation, ritual participation, detachment, closure, or the elimination of sadness. Optional continuing-bond and memory planning is guided by child choice, meaning, burden, family context, and review.
Included in both US Letter and A4, with editable DOCX files and professional printable PDFs.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
40 pages in US Letter and A4 PDF, plus editable US Letter and A4 DOCX files.
