When a child experiences loss, parents and caregivers often feel unsure about how to help. Supporting Children’s Grief is a compassionate, practical course designed to empower adults with the tools and confidence to supp
202ort children through the grieving process in healthy, age-appropriate ways. </p> 203 204<p>This course will help caregivers understand how grief manifests in children—emotionally, behaviorally, and developmentally—and provides strategies for nurturing emotional resilience at home. Whether your child has lost a family member, a pet, or gone through a major life transition like divorce or relocation, you’ll learn how to create a safe, open space for them to express their feelings and find healing no matter what their personality or attachment style is. </p> 205 206<p><strong>Who It’s For: </strong><br /> 207Parents, guardians, teachers, and caregivers of children ages 0–13, or anyone supporting a grieving child. </p> 208 209<p><br /> 210This program does not require approval by the Private Training Institutions Regulatory Unit (PTIRU) of the Ministry of <em>Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills. </em>As such, PTIRU did not review this program.</p> 211 </p> 212 <p><b>Tuition:</b> $199.00 <b>International Tuition Fee:</b> $199.00</p> 213 <a class="button is-primary" href="/courses/supporting-childrens-grief/">Course Details</a> 214 <a class="button is-primary" href="/enrollments/outline/supporting-childrens-grief/">Course Outline</a> 215 <a class="button is-primary" href="/student/enrollment/?course=supporting-childrens-grief">Enroll Now</a> 216 </div> 217 218 </div> 219 </div> 220 </div> 221 </div> 222 </div> 223</article> 224 225 226<footer class="footer"> 227 <div class="container"> 228 <div class="columns"> 229 <div class="column is-4"> 230 <img class="footer-logo" 231 src="https://www.earlychildhoodeducator.com/static/brand_footer_white.e79ceef70363.svg" 232 alt="Logo"> 233 <address class="footer-contact"> 234 <p>Box 1086<br/> Cobble Hill BC<br/> <span style="white-space: nowrap;">V8H 4C9</span></p> 235 <p> 236 <a href="/contact/">contact us</a> 237 </p> 238 </address> 239 </div> 240 241 <nav class="column footer-menu-column"> 242 <h2 class="footer-menu-heading">About PRECI</h2> 243 <ul> 244 245 <li> 246 <a href="/programs/">Programs & Courses</a> 247 </li> 248 249 <li> 250 <a href="/professional_development/">Professional Development</a> 251 </li> 252 253 <li> 254 <a href="/how-it-works/">How it Works</a> 255 </li> 256 257 <li> 258 <a href="/student/faqs/">FAQs</a> 259 </li> 260 261 <li> 262 <a href="/testimonials/">Testimonials</a> 263 </li> 264 265 </ul> 266 </nav> 267 268 <nav class="column footer-menu-column"> 269 <h2 class="footer-menu-heading">Students</h2> 270 <ul> 271 272 <li> 273 <a href="/student/login/">Log in</a> 274 </li> 275 276 <li> 277 <a href="">Textbooks</a> 278 </li> 279 280 <li> 281 <a href="/financial-aid/">Financial Aid</a> 282 </li> 283 284 <li> 285 <a href="/provincial-licensing/">Certification</a> 286 </li> 287 288 <li> 289 <a href="https://www.zazzle.ca/store/pacific_rim_eci">Merchandise</a> 290 </li> 291 292 </ul> 293 </nav> 294 295 <nav class="column footer-menu-column"> 296 <h2 class="footer-menu-heading">Policies</h2> 297 <ul> 298 299 <li> 300 <a href="https://www.earlychildhoodeducator.com/static/downloads/Student_Handbook_Information_Package.82c3f7592d85.pdf">Student Handbook</a> 301 </li> 302 303 <li> 304 <a href="https://www.earlychildhoodeducator.com/static/downloads/RefundPolicy.789c49181414.pdf">Refund Policy</a> 305 </li> 306 307 <li> 308 <a href="https://www.earlychildhoodeducator.com/static/downloads/DisputeResolutionPol
