Andrea Warnick Consulting (AWC) consists of a team of regulated therapists who provide grief therapy to children, youth and adults across Ontario, and grief education across Canada and the United States. These therapist share a passion for providing well-informed grief support to both those who have experienced a death and their communities of support. Through their clinical work of supporting families both before and after a death they also share an awareness that the death of a significant person represents one of the most powerful disruptions in all aspects of a child or youth’s emotional existence. Few professionals however, including those in mental health, social services, funeral services, medicine, or education, receive formal training on how to support children and youth who are grieving a death.

In this day-long virtual workshop therapists from the AWC team will bridge this knowledge gap by sharing creative and innovative strategies for supporting grieving kids of all ages both virtually and in-person. Please note that while anyone who comes into contact with a grieving child or youth is welcome to attend, this trauma-informed workshop is designed for those who are directly or indirectly supporting grieving children and youth professionally or as a volunteer, or are exploring doing so.
