Let's Talk About Grief With Anne

Grief is messy. It's the opposite of linear. It can be dark and wacky, lonely or not, love-filled or seemingly lacking - but it is so very alive. No two people experience this process in quite the same way. These episodes are conversation starters for dealing with dying, death, and grief, part therapy and part storytelling in disguise. They'll shine a light, giving you hope and understanding of how others have managed their grief. Also, they are an insightful guide to life's many losses. You don't have to struggle alone?

Hello, listeners, and welcome to another episode of our grief journey. Today, we will discuss with our guest, Dr. Julie Kaplow, how we can better support children and adolescents undergoing grief.

You'll learn that children's and youth's grief is unique, and it's through Dr. Kaplow's pioneering work has led to the development of evidence-based interventions such as multidimensional grief therapy, or MGT.

Dr. Kaplow is an expert in childhood trauma and bereavement, and she is the executive director of the Trauma and Grief Children's Center in New Orleans.

I understand that there's a 300-plus-person waitlist for this bereavement care. Now, that has me thinking: If this is just one state and these are the numbers, can you imagine what those waitlist numbers are worldwide?

Here's what we talk about:

What is Multidimensional Grief Therapy (MGT), and how does it help children and teens process their emotions after the death of a loved one?
Addressing grief in children of different ages
Behavioral changes parents should look for that signal their child needs additional emotional support
Some ways parents can model healthy grieving behaviors for their children
And much more!
