Real Talk: Exploring Dying, Death & Grief with Young People
About the Program
In an inclusive and relaxed environment where questions are encouraged, this program is designed to give young people, ages 10 -18, the opportunity to connect with their thoughts and emotions while discussing the mysteries of death. Participants will gain tools and strategies to draw upon when they are experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one.
Depending on the number of participants in a given session, as well as their age range and specific wishes, groups may be divided in order to have a smaller age gap within each group (e.g. ages 10-12 and 13-18).

Many adults find it difficult to think about dying and death, let alone talk about it with a young person. Our Death Cafés for Parents & Guardians actively explore how adult participants can help the children in their lives by talking about death with them openly and comfortably.
