🧠Topic: Trauma-Responsive Grief Support for Youth & Families Impacted by Homicide Deaths

💙Join us for the 2026 NACG National Webcast, a three-hour educational event designed for professionals, featuring presenters Samantha Anthony, Sam Middleton, and Katherine Streit from Uplift Center for Grieving Children in Philadelphia. This 3.5-hour education event will highlight:

-How historic and systemic oppression shape the homicide-related grief experiences of youth and families.

-Culturally and contextually responsive strategies for understanding and addressing stigmatized grief responses such as vengefulness, guilt, and shame among co-victims of homicide.

-Trauma-related grief behaviors that may emerge across the lifespan for survivors of violence.

💙Our webcast is an educational presentation live-streamed using Zoom, distributing a single education event to many simultaneous host locations.

📆When: March 3rd, 2026

📍Where: The Healing Place- 2409 Wildwood St Muscle Shoals, AL

⏱️Time: 12pm- 3:30pm
