Grief in children requires a different approach
When a parent dies, children are rarely truly prepared. Not because adults don’t want to help — but because most professionals don’t know where to start. What do you say to an eight-year-old whose father has just died? How do you explain cremation? What do you do when a child is angry instead of sad?
KC ToThePoint gives you concrete answers. No abstract theory. No models without practical value. Real stories from 27 years of experience — and clear steps you can apply in your work tomorrow.
For professionals working with grief and loss
The online training programmes at KC ToThePoint are designed for everyone who works with families where a parent is seriously ill or has died:
- Funeral professionals
- Hospice and palliative care teams
- Grief counsellors and bereavement support workers
- School counsellors and teachers
- Social workers and family support workers
- Nurses and healthcare professionals
