Coalition to Support Grieving Students
The Coalition to Support Grieving Students is a wonderful resource that provides free video and downloadable grief support modules for school personnel as well as other free resources, such as free books and brochures. Topics covered include:
The National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement (led by pediatrician and childhood bereavement expert David J. Schonfeld, M.D.) and the New York Life Foundation are the Coalition's lead founding members. The Coalition is a unique collaboration of the leading professional organizations representing classroom teachers (including teachers, paraprofessionals, and other instructional staff), principals, assistant principals, superintendents, school board members, and central office staff, student support personnel (including school counselors, school nurses, school psychologists, school social workers, and other student support personnel), and other school professionals who have come together with a common conviction: grieving students need the support and care of the school community.
