And so, for when you mentioned that this is for ourselves as well, this is for school counselors as well, because knowing that you are helping that many other people and that you are in the trenches and you're going to be doing this work- for we don't know how long that we've got to take care of ourselves and you've got to take care of you- and so that's why, at the beginning of this training, you will hear some of that about.
Grief is a challenging companion, especially in the educational environment. In this heartfelt episode of 'Arkansas A.W.A.R.E.', hosts Betsy Kindall, Nicole Fairchild, and Stacy Moore tackle the complex topic of responding to grief. With a mix of wit and empathy, they share personal stories and professional advice, making a tough subject approachable for everyone involved in education. The trio emphasizes the importance of acknowledging grief and moving forward in a healthy manner, particularly in light of the ongoing pandemic.
They offer practical tools and materials for grief counseling and stress the need for self-care among educators. Betsy poignantly reminds us, 'you've got to take care of yourself', highlighting that supporting oneself is just as crucial as supporting others. This episode is a must-listen for educators, parents, and anyone looking to understand and manage grief within school communities.
