Helping Schools Understand Grieving Students
Children who experience the loss of a parent or other family
member through a line-of-duty death are likely to face a
number of unique issues. School professionals working with
students in such circumstances will be able to provide more
effective support when they understand the distinct aspects
of this experience. The materials in this module are designed as a supplement to
the broader information at the Coalition’s website. They are
not intended to be a stand-alone resource. They were developed collaboratively with the national nonprofit organization Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.).
