This course, in my opinion, was more applicable to me than most courses I take. As someone who is not exactly a classroom teacher, it is difficult to find courses that I can use in my day to day life. I liked that the strategies shared here can be used in many different settings, not just a standard classroom. Jilane M., IA.

This was another great course. I am officially a Deb Hadley fan! I have found all of her presentations incredibly powerful and helpful. Students and teachers all experience grief, and being able to identify the causes of grief, recognize what grief is, and understand how people experience and cope with grief provides us with the framework necessary to live with grief and support others when they experience it.
