Free Webinar: New Beginnings, Same Grief: Supporting Transition Moments in Schools

Presenter: Annette Mendez

Spring brings a wave of transitions in schools—testing season, high school and college acceptances, promotion ceremonies, prom, graduations, schedule changes, and shifting routines. For grieving students, these milestones can intensify emotions and disrupt regulation. This webinar equips school staff and youth-serving professionals with practical, developmentally informed tools to support grieving young people during these high-stress, high-transition months.
