What's in the toolkit?
Grief is a sensitive and difficult topic to talk about. It deserves time and space to do the conversations justice, so with this in mind, we have created a PDF toolkit with resources to help you do the following:
Prepare a safe environment
The toolkit provides resources and suggestions on how to create a safe and supportive classroom environment for both yourself and your class.
Deliver a clear-age appropriate trigger warning
We have collated some useful tips for delivering clear, age-appropriate triggering warnings that use simple, sensitive language that normalise emotional responses.
Provide options for managing discomfort
You'll receive guidance on how to help students manage discomfort, and helpful self-regulation tools you can use with your class or on a 1-1 basis.
Encourage open communication
Encourage students to ask questions or express any concerns either through open discussion or by using a worry box.
Promote self-care practices
We have collated some tools that can help you to check-in with your students and help them identify what (if anything) needs care right now.
