Caileigh explains how play therapy, a form of psychotherapy can help children in grief. It is specifically used when working with children and families and youth because it’s developmentally appropriate. They are never expected to sit down and to talk.

They are able to learn new skills to cope with their grief, and they’re able to go at their own pace.
