Recognizing that grief isn’t just a moment but an ongoing experience, this guide offers a framework for educators and school leaders to acknowledge and hold space for both their own grief and that of their students.
Based on insights gathered over two years from SCRR’s “Honoring Grief” series, this guide integrates tools, strategies, and collective wisdom on grief literacy, personal grief reflection, and building supportive structures within schools.
As schools encounter loss, change, and tragedy, this guide encourages educators to cultivate a sense of renewal amid grief, transforming what can feel overwhelming into an opportunity for authentic, compassionate connection.
Through “invitations” designed to encourage reflection and support, SCRR provides pathways to honor grief in ways that are liberating and feasible within educational settings.
Here, educators can find both guidance and solidarity as they support students and colleagues in navigating grief with resilience and empathy towards individual and collective crisis recovery and renewal.
