Teen Grief - Caring for the Grieving Teenage Heart

By Gary Roe

Teens are hurting, and as they try to make sense of such a confusing and troubled world. Teens deal again and again with moving, separations, divorces, rejections, substance abuse, domestic violence, sexual abuse, illness, disability, suicide and school shootings. Their lives and hearts are more at stake than ever before. Teens are at risk and we must find ways to help heal the pain and not let loss get the better of them. Teens are our future.
This is an invaluable resource for parents, teens, teachers, coaches, school staff, ministers, church staff and anyone that has a teenager they want to help. In this book you will learn:

1. How large an issue teen grief is and how deep their pain goes.
2. How the teen hearts tend to see and interpret loss, and how they attempt to manage it.
3. How you can come alongside teens and help them deal with shock, denial, sadness, and anger.
4. How you can support teens as they navigate anxiety, fear, guilt, and depression
5. How you can walk with teens in their loneliness, confusion, and skepticism about life and the future.
6. How you can be a safe person who cultivates hope in teen hearts.
7. How you (parent, grandparent, teacher, coach, school counselor, administrator, social worker, clergy, youth pastor, mentor, youth advocate, etc.) can use your specific role to have a positive and healing impact in teens' lives.
