When grief comes to school, how can we help?
Pathways has been serving the community with the oldest bereavement programs for children and families in the Greater Lakewood/Long Beach area. Some of the ways we help schools are:
Faculty and staff training and development programs including, "What to Do When Grief Comes to School"
Counseling, consultation and coaching when you are working with a grieving child or teen
Classroom visit after a child, parent, or faculty death
School-based bereavement support groups
Referrals to other agencies as needed
"Pathways’ support during a challenging time was essential to our school. Offering their services on campus made it accessible for our students. Knowing that this is an agency that is an expert on the topic and can support students made it more manageable.
Thank you Pathways for your support!"
Millikan High School - Social Worker
“Pathways pulled out students to give them time to process their grief. The students grew to build relationships with each other as well as the facilitators.”
