Embracing Grief in the Classroom

Addressing grief in the classroom can be challenging, but educators play a special role in helping students move through difficult life events.

Today on the podcast we’re joined by Brittany R. Collins and Marlee Bunch. Brittany is the author of Learning from Loss: A Trauma-Informed Approach to Supporting Grieving Students. Her work centers around acknowledging the many ways grief may show up for students and identifying a holistic path forward.

Marlee Bunch the current Senior Director of Diversity and Culture for Comprehensive Mental Health and a contracted Director of Education and Diversity for Race Project KC. She is a close colleague of Brittany and is currently working with her to develop a DEI companion resource for Learning from Loss.

Together, Brittany and Marlee discuss what a grief-responsive approach looks like, and how we can shift our perspectives to embrace grief when in shows up.
