Death, dying, and bereavement in urban communities is an almost daily headline. Rarely is there any discussion on a national level as to how this impacts the lives of children and teenagers living in urban communities. However, death in the family and in the community has a huge impact on the daily lives of urban youth. This presentation will provide insight into the challenges faced by urban children and teenagers grieving the death of people in their lives and in their communities. Education, Mental Health, Funeral Service, Religious and Bereavement Professionals have a unique opportunity to provide support and understanding to youth in the urban community. Our panel of three professionals living and working with children and teenagers in high need urban communities will share their personal experience working with this population. They will share information about the impact of grief on the lives of urban youth, and provide insight into how to help bereaved youth in the urban community in culturally informed and sensitive ways.
This course is based on the recorded webinar, Understanding the Impact of Death, Dying, and Bereavement Among Urban Youth Populations created by Leon J. Henry, Alesia K. Alexander , MSW, LCSW, CT, and Kaaren Andrews, MA in 2016.
