SP015i How Children Utilize Development Regression in the Grief Process 4 CEUs TIVE018-202680

For system-involved youth, grief may be shaped by death, disrupted caregiving, or changing expectations or routines. Participants will examine how earlier developmental needs can reappear during grief and how those moments can offer important information about a child’s need for reassurance, connection, predictability, and care. The training supports caregivers and professionals in responding to regression with patience, curiosity, and developmentally respectful support. Through reflective discussion and creative grief-engagement practices, participants will learn how to notice the need underneath the behavior, respond without shame, and support grieving children in ways that protect dignity, trust, and emotional safety.
