In this webinar, Dr. Julie Kaplow will explore how grief can manifest in children across developmental stages and how pediatricians and others working with children in primary care settings can recognize signs that may be overlooked or misinterpreted. Drawing from her extensive clinical, research, and policy leadership in childhood trauma and bereavement, Dr. Kaplow will share practical, grief-sensitive strategies for recognizing and responding to grieving children. The session will also highlight ways healthcare professionals can foster connection, communication, and continuity of care for children navigating loss.
