This hour-long webinar is Thursday, June 2 at 7:00 p.m. It's intended for families, parents, guardians and child-connected humans in the Oregon Community. Grief and loss, regardless of circumstance, can be a difficult topic for adults to speak with children and teens about. It can become even more complex when the adults are also grieving.
