Supporting children and teenagers                                                                                                                      It is important to include children and young people in sharing information and support to enable an understanding of events and acknowledgement of loss and feelings. Participation in group activities including therapeutic play, provision of opportunities for questions and answers in a safe and supportive environment, promoting an open and appropraute dialogue at an age appropriate level and giving time to understand exactly what individuals are asking prior to answering and finding approaches they respond best to, will enhance the grieving process.
