Many of these resources originate from nationally recognized experts and leaders in trauma, grief, loss, and child and adolescent psychology. Some are created by educators, researchers, and industry professionals, while others may be the firsthand accounts of individuals who have experienced loss or supported someone who has.

Youth Communication
Description: Youth Communication offers youth writing programs and publications that give teens the opportunity to share their voice for other students. Young people today are experiencing losses of all types—mourning the death of a loved one, grieving the death of Black men and women at the hands of police, experiencing homelessness and migration. Many YC writers have written about loss and letting go—whether it’s dealing with the death of a friend or loved one, letting go of a relationship or an identity you’ve outgrown, or losing a home or a way of being. YC writers have also focused on resilience—on the strengths they developed or relied upon to get through difficult times, the people who helped them or the places and things that brought them joy.
