About This Lesson
Grieving children are frequently overlooked in school settings. About 50% - 90% of students will experience the death of a close family member or friend by the time they complete high school, yet many educators lack formal training on how to support them. “Recognizing Grief Awareness Day in Your School” guidance document provides actionable steps for school communities to observe Children's Grief Awareness Day (observed annually on the third Thursday in November) and foster a supportive environment for bereaved students year-round.
