The Learning Through Loss Program

Supporting educators to develop youth resilience in the face of grief and loss.

What is Learning Through Loss?

Most young people will encounter grief and loss for the first time in high school. Learning Through Loss is a professional learning training for educators and school staff which equips them with the tools they need to support young people who are navigating grief and loss. This training has the potential to prevent the development of mental illness in those young people who have been affected by grief and loss.
