At large, our students and community are experiencing all types of losses. To learn how to support each other and our students, we would like to invite you to view the documentary Speaking Grief. This film is a public media initiative aimed at creating a more grief-aware society by validating the experience of grievers and helping guide those who support them. Kent ISD Care Council (student support staff from KCTC,KIH,MS@K, and KTC) invites you to support your students by learning from this film.

Professional Development

This screening is made possible by a grant from the New York Life Foundation and public media station WPSU. Please contact any student services support staff with questions on the project or ways for you and your students to get involved.
