Understanding Grief in Children

It's been more than a year now since many kids across the country returned to their classrooms.

And many of them brought grief and trauma with them, too.

But some educators just don't feel equipped to support kids who are grieving.

NPR's Rhitu Chatterjee speaks with a handful of school mental health professionals who recently attended a special training on grief and trauma.

Also in this episode, NPR's Eric Deggans speaks with a psychologist on collective trauma in the wake of mass shootings.

In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.
