The Art of Nurturing Communities through Grief

A bereavement is said to be one of the most traumatic life events that a child can experience and yet; as evidenced by leading research, there is very little provision or support available to children, young people and their families to help them come to terms with their grief. 'The Art of Nurturing Grieving Communities' explores existing understanding surrounding the overlooked area of bereavement support for children and young people. With a fresh perspective on how culture can shape the way in which communities grieve, Stokes explores what schools can learn from emerging research and how professionals can best support bereaved children in their care.
