2026 ALL Ohio Conference
  • Supporting Teachers and Students Through Grief and Turbulent Times

    Wednesday, July 22 · 10:40 AM – 11:30 AM · Regent 1

    1 out of every 10 Ohio students will lose a parent or sibling to death by the age of 18. In today’s schools, grief, loss, and uncertainty are no longer rare interruptions—they are realities many teachers and students carry into the classroom every day. This breakout session provides practical, compassionate strategies for supporting learning communities through grief, trauma, and emotionally turbulent times while maintaining hope, connection, and academic momentum. Participants will explore appropriate age responses to grief, ways to create psychologically safe classrooms, and tools educators can use to support students and themselves without feeling overwhelmed or unprepared. Attendees will leave with actionable practices, conversation starters, and a renewed sense of confidence in leading with empathy during life’s hardest moments.
