AFSA is a founding member of the Coalition to Support Grieving Students. Please visit www.grievingstudents.org, for resources on supporting grieving children and families. The coalition was formed to create resources and materials to assist those dealing with crisis and bereavement, and also to create grievingstudents.org, a groundbreaking, practitioner-oriented website designed to provide educators with the information, insights, and practical advice they need to better understand and meet the needs of the millions of grieving kids in America’s classrooms.
