Grief is a personal, unique experience for young adults after loss in their lives. The loss could be due to the death of someone close to them or it could be due to another type of loss or life transition. This presentation will explore both theoretical underpinnings of grief and loss, as well as practical ways to support bereaved college students. Attendees will learn about the different type of losses facing college students, including loss of a parent, loss of a peer, loss due to suicide, or loss due to substance abuse. This interactive presentation will explain effective modes of support along with specific activities and techniques for helping bereaved college students in both group and individual support settings.

Presenters from the Satori Group:
      Pamela Gabbay, ED.D, FT
      Andy McNiel, MA
