Today, on World Mental Health Day, we are reminded that supporting children’s mental health means supporting the whole child, including their grief.

Grief is a natural response to a death, but it can touch every part of a child’s well-being, from their emotions and relationships to sleep, behavior, and experiences at school. When children have caring adults who recognize their grief, create space for expression, and connect them with additional support when needed, we help build environments where they can feel seen, supported, and understood.

For resources on supporting children who are grieving, visit the NACG's library of free resources at nacg.org/resources.

We heard your feedback — and we’re creating more intentional opportunities for NACG members to connect with peers across the field. Based on feedback about the value of dedicated peer communities, we’re relaunching the NACG Connection Calls with a renewed focus on the audience each call is designed to serve.

The Membership Connection Call returns Monday, October 19 at 12 PM ET and is designed for all professionals working directly with children, teens, and families who are grieving. Multiple representatives from organizations are welcome. Active NACG Members can learn more and get the link to join at https://childrengrieve.wildapricot.org/member-calls/.

Today, on National Day of Remembrance for Homicide Victims, we honor those who have died by homicide and recognize the families, children, and communities forever changed by their deaths. Grief following a homicide can bring unique and complex challenges.
