Strategies For Supporting College Students Experiencing Grief, Rachel A. Guimond
Strategies For Supporting College Students Experiencing Grief, Rachel A. Guimond
Scholar Week 2016 - present
Grief and loss are a shared human experience. However, lacking cultural awareness of the impact of grief and insufficient social support can make managing the loss of a loved one very challenging for students. One strategy to support students who experience loss during college is the development of a course that addresses content related to the experience within supportive academic relationships. This presentation will explore research findings about student experiences of grief on college campuses and evidence-based practices for the development and implementation of an academic course on grief.
