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
