Grief and Trauma: Supporting Children in the Aftermath of Loss
Childhood bereavement is a critical but often overlooked issue: - 1 in 12 children in Illinois will experience the death of a parent or sibling by age 18. - Sudden and unexpected deaths are the leading cause of death for those under 50. - Firearms are a leading cause of death for ages 1-24 yrs (accidental, suicide, and homicide). - 1 in 5 newly bereaved children will experience the death of a parent from overdose.
When it comes to grief support, many social workers feel under-prepared to help. We recognize that social workers have a crucial role to play in delivering support to children and families. When someone experiences a traumatic death, they must not only cope with the trauma, but they will also be grieving. The experiences of trauma and grief are two separate things. However, after a traumatic death, they can become enmeshed and tangled; people can experience significantly more intense, pervasive, and prolonged symptoms. After a traumatic loss, it is important to find ways to process and cope with complicated emotions and reactions regarding the death and the trauma. While many children adjust well after a death loss, some may have difficulties that interfere with everyday life and make it difficult to recall positive memories of their loved ones, resulting in traumatic grief. Other experiences of traumatic bereavement include shattered assumptions about the world, themselves, and others, ruminations, feelings of guilt, and blame. In this presentation, participants will gain an understanding of traumatic bereavement and explore creative and movement-based interventions for children.
