When Dougy's sister Gracey is picked for the state athletics championships, not everybody in their small bush town is pleased. "Aborigines get special treatment", some of the angry white people say - "It's not fair!" The championships change everything for Gracey and trigger dramatic events in the town too- black and white relations reach explosion point. The time is ripe for the mysterious Moodagudda to seek a victim... In the end, it's up to Dougy to save his family - and to prove himself. Dougyis the first book in James Moloney's award winning trilogy which is completed by Graceyand Angela.
In 1968, Dougy Turno was born in Aiken, South Carolina. In his brief 13 years of life, Dougy Turno would inspire a new model of care, The Dougy Center Model, which would serve thousands of children, teens, young adults, and parents throughout the world. Diagnosed and living with an advanced serious illness, Dougy's bravery and compassion for children and teens who were also living with advanced serious illnesses initiated the first peer grief support program for children and their families grieving a death. Dougy Center, respectfully and affectionately named after Dougy Turno, offered its first group in 1982 to 4 children at our founder's home. Since that first group on December 29, 1982, to the present day, we have used The Dougy Center Model to provide support in a safe place for thousands of children, teens, young adults, and their families who are grieving. This book explains Dougy Center's history and the model that has been used to build and grow more than 500 programs throughout North America and into other continents as well.
Start the conversation around grief--a normal and healthy experience we all share as human beings. Grief is a small word for a BIG experience. Grief affects us emotionally, but also physically, socially, spiritually, and really in every part of our lives. But the important thing to know is that grief is natural, normal, and healthy, and it's an experience we all have because we're human.
Through the stories, thoughts and feelings of other kids who have experienced a murder, this hands-on- workbook allows children to see that they are not alone in their feelings and experiences. Includes drawing activities, puzzles and word games to help explain confusing elements specific to a murder, such as the police, media and legal system.
This guidebook presents 35 simple and practical suggestions for supporting a child who is grieving. Drawn from stories, suggestions and insight shared by children and their family members at Dougy Center: The National Grief Center for Children & Families, this book explores behaviors and reactions of children at different ages and stages of development; outlets for children to safely express their thoughts and feelings; and ways to be supportive during difficult times, such as a memorial service, anniversary or holiday.
Superhero Grief uses modern superhero narratives to teach the principles of grief theories and concepts and provide practical ideas for promoting healing. Chapters offer clinical strategies, approaches, and interventions, including strategies based in expressive arts and complementary therapies. Leading researchers, clinicians, and professionals address major topics in death, dying, and bereavement, using superhero narratives to explore loss in the context of bereavement and to promote a contextual view of issues and relationship types that can improve coping skills. This volume provides support and psychoeducation to students, clinicians, educators, researchers, and the bereaved while contributing significantly to the literature on the intersection of death, grief, and trauma.
Children and teens who experience the death of a parent are never the same. Only in the last decade have counselors acknowledged that children grieve too, and that unresolved issues can negatively impact children into adulthood. Unaddressed grief can lead to depression, substance abuse, and relationship difficulties. For at least three generations of adults, these issues have been largely ignored. Having worked with thousands of families as Executive Director of the Dougy Center for Grieving Children, Donna Schuurman understands the dangers of unresolved grief better than anyone else. In Never the Same, Schuurman offers expert advice and encouragement to empower readers to reflect on their unique situation, come to terms with the influence of their parent's death, and live more healthful, peaceful lives. The only book of its kind, Never the Same is an essential companion for those still struggling with the early loss of a parent.
A sequel to Dougy, Gracey continues the story of Gracey and her two brothers, young Aboriginals in a small country town.
Drawing on personal experience and expert advice, author Mary DeTurris Poust offers a practical guide for parents helping children through the grieving process in Parenting a Grieving Child.
