Caregivers take into their home and childcare facilities children who have been abused, neglected, and
traumatized. They nurture these children and help them through their behavioral and emotional difficulties.
When it is time for children to move on, the caregivers' repeated and ongoing loss and grief is rarely
addressed. In this training, we will focus on the unique loss and grief that caregivers experience and on what
helps support this necessary process. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to identify losses
and grief specific to caregivers, explain how caregiver loss is unique, and will have explored what can best help
support caregivers in the grief process.
