In this episode, we sit down with Kailey Bradley, a licensed professional counselor and nationally certified counselor, to explore the complexities of childhood and teen grief. Kailey, who is also a fellow in thanatology, shares her extensive experience from her background in hospice work and her passion for advocating for grievers of all ages.
Throughout the episode, Kailey emphasizes the importance of being present with grieving children and teens, understanding that their ways of expressing grief may differ from adults. She discusses creative approaches to support them, highlighting the use of expressive arts and other innovative techniques. Kailey also stresses the necessity of providing safe spaces where young grievers can openly share their feelings and ask questions without judgment.
As an adjunct professor at Ashland Theological Seminary and Marian University, and a doctoral student at Ohio University, Kailey brings a rich academic perspective to her practical experiences. She shares valuable insights on how counselors, educators, and families can better support grieving youth.
Join us for a deep and meaningful conversation that sheds light on the unique needs of grieving children and teens, and learn how to effectively companion them through their journey.
