This review is from: Group Work with Adolescents After Violent Death: A Manual for Practitioners (Paperback)
Group Work is full of information to help with youth experiencing a traumatic death of a friend or family member. Even a chapter on how parents can help their youth. Gave me all the information I needed and then some.Definitely a great help in planning a workshop or seminar.
