Abstract
A crisis intervention consultation service to the schools for bereavement support for children is described. Examples are offered of the author's experience in providing this service to children from the pre-kindergarten to senior high level, at private, parochial, and public schools. These requests were generally in response to tragic deaths of fellow students and significant adults, including teachers, parents, and friends. Suggestions are outlined for pediatric and mental health consultants who may wish to offer similar services within their communities, with particular emphasis on issues to address in program planning and implementation.Keywords
