This year’s theme, The Ripple Effect: Supporting the Whole System When a Child Grieves, explores how grief impacts not just a child, but their family, school, and broader community. When a child experiences loss, the effects ripple outward. When we support the whole system, healing becomes more possible for everyone involved.
