Over the years Hospice Calgary counsellors have had consistent feedback from families as well as teachers that more support is needed for bereaved students within the school environment. In response to that need and with the generous donation from The Calgary Foundation, Hospice Calgary staff developed this valuable resource guide. To date, over 500 copies have been sold across Canada and internationally.
"I have found 'Good Grief' to be the most practical and accessible resource I have come across in my years as a counsellor... the information is concise, practical and yet highly respectful of the individual needs of bereaved students."
Barb Dobson, Guidance Counsellor
Canmore Collegiate High School
