envision a world where every grieving young person is supported by a skilled,
caring adult who mediates the ever-present help of God's grace. |
Understanding and Managing Grief
Every day, 30 million people in the United States are grieving. We grieve the loss of life, the loss of independence, the loss
of jobs and income, the loss of marriage through divorce, the loss of connection
through moving or incarceration, the loss of dreams unrealized. Our youth are not immune to this experience. In fact, 70% of children, adolescents and teenagers will face loss before
they reach adulthood. Their ability
to navigate the grieving process will impact the remainder of their lives. Therefore, it is essential that they have the guidance and support they need
from the adults in their lives. No
matter how resilient our school aged children are or how well they seem to be coping
with a significant loss, they should not face their grief alone.
Please allow the Dustin Project to help. We want all adults to be better equipped to help the children in their lives
deal with grief and loss. To this end,
we provide training opportunities for parents, teachers, counselors, social workers,
nurses, clergy, mentors, professional and volunteer youth workers and anyone who
has regular contact with our young people. We have 3 different training models that have been developed by licensed mental
health counselors, and we will work with you to design a workshop that meets the
individual needs of the participants.
