This new policy demonstrates such impressive leadership - thanks @cjphrcsp.bsky.social for your vision!

Children grieve too! In this paper, we contest views of children as immature, used to justify their exclusion from discussions about death. This exclusion breaches children’s participation rights. We propose a rethinking that recognizes young people as active moral agents. doi.org/10.1177/0030...

A little #DeathLiteracy humour to start the day

Started my day with this genuine approach to children's #DeathLiteracy. Thank you @drjrubenstein.bsky.social

Some timely local🍁lore (and a great interview with historian/writer, Craig Ferguson)

A 'grief with no name' is still grief. We need to stop disenfranchising grief with our own labeling. Thanks to Jelena Markovic for helping me think about this today. #GriefLiteracy

Weaving and grieving, that's #GriefLiteracy
