Grief shows up in ways we don’t always see — but we can learn how to show up for the kids who carry it.
Join @BBBSCalgary on May 31, 2025, at 10 AM to 11 AM for Coffee & Conversations – Series 2 Session 1 | Guiding with Heart: Mentoring Through Grief
In this free, in-person session, guest speaker Shanna Shepherd, Director at the @childrensgriefca, will guide us through how grief shows up in children and teens — and how caring adults can recognize it, respond with empathy, and create safe, supportive environments at home, at school, and beyond.
✨ You’ll walk away with:
- A deeper understanding of how grief affects young people
- Tools and language to support grieving youth
- Practical strategies for home, school, and mentoring spaces
- Free resources to build more grief-informed communities
☕ Enjoy coffee, tea & light refreshments
