Middletown Public Library

Grief looks different for children than it does for adults, and children need opportunities to express it in ways that make sense for their age and development.
Join us for a hands-on&nbsp;Memory Box Workshop, designed to give children and teens a meaningful, tangible way to honor and remember the people they love and miss.
Led by&nbsp;Stacey Malcolm, MS, CCLS, Certified Child Life Specialist and owner of Healing Hearts, this workshop invites children and teens (ages&nbsp;2–18) to create a memory box that is uniquely their own. Families are encouraged to bring a special item to include in the box, such as a photograph, a letter to or from their loved one, a small keepsake, or another meaningful object. All decorating materials and art supplies will be provided.
This is&nbsp;not a drop-off event. Caregivers must remain for the duration of the workshop to support their child throughout the experience. Memory-making activities often open the door to important conversations, offering families a chance to remember, connect, and heal together in a safe, supportive environment.
Whether your child experienced a recent loss or is continuing to navigate grief months or years later, this workshop provides a compassionate space to remember, create, and connect.
Who:&nbsp;Children and youth ages 2 to 18, accompanied by a caregiver
What to bring:&nbsp;A photo, letter, or small keepsake connected to your loved one
What we provide:&nbsp;All art supplies

Memory Boxes: A Hands On Grief Program for Children and Youth

When a child experiences the death of someone they love, caregivers are often navigating their own grief while trying to support their child's. Knowing what to expect—and how to respond—can make a meaningful difference.
Join&nbsp;Stacey Malcolm, MS, CCLS, Certified Child Life Specialist and owner of Healing Hearts, for this one-hour educational workshop designed to help caregivers better understand childhood grief through a developmental lens.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience supporting children and families through grief and loss, Stacey will discuss:
<ul><li>How children understand death at different developmental stages</li><li>Common grief reactions by age</li><li>How attachment and separation anxiety may emerge following a loss</li><li>Why behavior changes, regression, and big emotions are often normal parts of the grieving process</li><li>Practical ways to support children while caring for yourself</li></ul>
Caregivers will leave with a better understanding of what their child may be experiencing, age-appropriate language and coping strategies to use at home, and take-home pamphlets and resources to continue supporting their family long after the workshop ends.
