The Leader Manual gives step-by-step instructions for establishing the support group, along with activities for each individual session. For use with ages 5 through 15, it discusses the rationale and objectives behind bereavement programs, explains common grief reactions of children, and provides several techniques and skills that are particularly effective in grief counseling. The accompanying Participant Workbook contains worksheets for daily activities, and thus allows participants to see the program content in written form, while increasing communication with parents or guardians through the exchange of personal and emotional information. For use with children ages 5 through 15, the workbook fosters participant interaction with its series of activity specific worksheets, which require written comments and drawings. The six-step program is designed for children between the ages of 5 and 15, and contains sections devoted to death and grief, feelings and self-esteem, expression of grief, memories, funerals, and healing and coping skills. The new edition includes an expanded number of sessions to accommodate the need for a lengthier healing process. It also features a new session entitled "Expression of Grief", which encourages participants to communicate their feelings, and which reassures bereaved children that they are not isolated in their experiences and feelings. New and revised activities appear throughout the leader manual, including "Death ExperienceDiscussion", "Picture of Life/Death", "Feelings Bingo", "Funeral Story", and "Telling about Your Death Experience". The participant workbook includes an updated and expanded bibliography section in each session. |
