Traumatic bereavement: Measures recommended for practitioners working with children & young people

Identifying traumatic bereavement and tailoring interventions is a challenge. In this video, UK Trauma Co-Director David Trickey explains what measures are, why they're useful, and which questionnaires are recommended for traumatically bereaved children and young people.

This videos supports Chapter 5: Identifying traumatic bereavement in the UK Trauma Council's Traumatic Bereavement Clinical Guide.

The activities suggested in this videos are suggestions only and are intended to complement core bereavement support. They should only be undertaken by practitioners with an appropriate level of training, experience, and supervision. It is the responsibility of each practitioner to ensure that any activities are appropriate for the individual child or young person with whom they are working and in line with their organisational and professional policies and frameworks.
