Supporting Grieving Native American Children and Families 

In this webinar, Sesame Workshop’s Senior Manager of Content Design, Tara Wright, and Behavioral Therapist, Chenoa Crowshoe-Patterson, discuss how to offer support to grieving Native American children and families in a way that honors their cultural beliefs and customs. Throughout the conversation, Chenoa draws upon her experience as a Blackfeet tribal member and therapist to offer examples that help illustrate how providers can be more considerate of—and even celebrate—a child or family’s cultural and spiritual beliefs. 

By the end of the webinar, you’ll have: 

• New ways to think about death and grief, especially as it relates to some indigenous populations. 

• A renewed appreciation for the diversity in thought and belief among children and families you serve. 
• Ideas for how to offer care in a culturally curious and respectful way.
