Teenage Grief

 

Two Master's students, a teacher and a palliative care nurse, worked together designing a project with the goal of helping high school students improve their social and emotional wellbeing. The project offered practical tools to better cope with stress, loss and grief in teens' daily lives, fostering self-awareness and emotional intelligence, both critical to navigating life's challenges. Susan MacLeod captured students debriefing their experience in this cartoon. If you're interested in offering the program to students near you, reach out to Grief Matters to put you in contact with the creators.
