During COVID-19, we grieve not just death, but the change in the world (and the classroom) as we know it.

"Children notice when adults care" On #ChildrensGriefAwarenessDay, we're highlighting our newest resource on our Kids Grief platform: Kids Grief for Educators. Kids need support through grief, and educators are uniquely positioned to help. https://kidsgrief.ca... Children's Grief Awareness Day Canadian Alliance for Grieving Children and Youth

Did you know: virtualhospice.ca went online in February 2004? This was at the same time we launched "Ask a Professional". For the first time, Canadians had direct access to health specialists online. For #DigitalHealthWeek, we recognize the importance of #DigitalHealth, and how it enables CVH to aggregate and share content on palliative care and grief through our websites and online learning modules, improving the ability of everyone, regardless of where they live, to access evidence-informed information and support. #ThinkDigitalHealth www.virtualhospice.ca

This National Bereavement Day, we've launched a new online learning module on our MyGrief.ca platform: "For people working in healthcare: COVID-19 and grief" Developed by people working in healthcare, our new module focuses on the ongoing change, uncertainty, and anxiety involved in working in healthcare during COVID-19, and how reactions to these job stressors are similar to the experience of living with grief. This addition to mygrief.ca addresses questions like:... How common is work-related grief in healthcare? What are the differences and similarities between stress and grief, and how are these linked to working in healthcare, especially during COVID-19? What are some strategies that can help to regain and maintain a sense of control and wellbeing during this unprecedented time? Learn more at MyGrief.ca #makegriefapriority #Grief2020 #MyGrief
