Student Dies, A School Mourns by Ralph L Klicker

Student Dies, A School Mourns by Ralph L Klicker

Among the abundance of material available about death and dying, there is a very limited amount that deals directly with the needs of a school community when one of its members dies. In addition, a great need exists for schools to develop an organized plan for responding to the death of a student or staff member. A Student Dies, A School Mourns aims to fill this gap. The book not only examines and explains the grief reactions of students and school staff members and the factors that affect these reactions, it also provides a systematic guide for developing a death-related crisis response plan. This timely book is designed to be a systematic guide that incorporates a thorough analysis of grief in school, including normal and abnormal grief reactions, factors affecting these grief responses, and the differences in death beliefs and responses of students at different ages and developmental stages. It also acts as a map or step-by-step guide for establishing a death-related response plan. The liberal use of flow charts, time tables, and action plans, turns the often daunting task of creating a response plan into a relatively painless activity, stating what must be done, who should do it, and when. Extensive coverage is given to two issues in particular: youth suicide and violence/murder in the school. A Student Dies, A School Mourns will be a vital resource for school counselors, social workers, rehab psychologists, school administrators, teachers, clergy and anyone with an interest in death as it pertains to the school community. It will also be of use as a textbook for courses in death and dying, educational psychology, education, and educational administration.

"DrKlicker has given educators a book that everyone should have in his or her library. It is a preventative medicine book. It may prevent a suicide or a murder. In situations where these terrible acts happen, this book may serve to help and heal in appropriate ways. It is must reading." -- Dr. Victor F. Scalise Jr., Founder of the National Center for Death Education
"The book is practical, offering step by step guides when appropriate (and they are guides, not scripts), and extensive networking resources, to help around a variety of issues and themes that are present when a student dies." -- The World Pastoral Care Center
