Grief with Barbara Mitchell

We chat with experts & special guests about children's development, health, nutrition, play, growth, child care, parenting, and more. Email homeandclassroom@brightsideup.org to be a guest or send an interview suggestion today!

To kick off the new season, we sat down with Barbara Mitchell, LMHC, and Infant Mental Health Consultant to talk about navigating grief with young children. Barbara helps us understand how to communicate authentically and honestly with children about a loss so that they feel safe, supported, and able to move forward with life.
