Grief in My Backpack Refresh Project

Grief in My Backpack Refresh Project

Alberta

Educators across Canada increasingly seek practical, research-aligned tools to support grieving students, yet many existing resources lack flexibility, accessibility, and broad awareness. This enhancement of the Grief in My Backpack program aims to address those gaps through three key improvements: creating editable course content that can evolve with emerging research, developing printable workbook versions based on teacher feedback, and launching a marketing package to expand reach. These updates aim to equip hundreds of educators with adaptable, easy-to-use strategies that foster compassionate, grief-informed classrooms where children feel supported as they learn and grow.
