Grief literacy for young people

In this YouTube video, we explore the findings of an innovative research project focused on grief literacy for young people aged 14-24. Young people often face grief but are frequently left without adequate support due to long waitlists, high treatment costs, and a lack of understanding and skills to navigate their grief. Discover what young people themselves believe is needed to build a world that truly acknowledges, validates, and supports their grieving process.
