From the suburbs to the city, schools across Chicagoland are stepping up to better support grieving children.

Thank you to Chicago West Side Christian School for making the commitment to become a Grief-Sensitive School. This work matters because grief does not stay at home when a child walks into the classroom. It can affect focus, behavior, relationships, and a student’s ability to feel safe and supported during the school day.

When teachers and staff are equipped to recognize grief and respond with compassion, they help create a school community where students feel seen, understood, and cared for.

Proud to support Chicago West Side Christian School in this important step through the Grief-Sensitive Schools Initiative.
