Jerome, Annette
School Psychology International, v32 n2 p194-209 Apr 2011
Based on specific school and community tragedies, this article reviews difficult situations and how students' spiritual and religious beliefs were incorporated into school-based grief interventions. Suggestions are made to strengthen this often untapped resource, encouraging school-based mental health professionals to consult with community spiritual leaders and parents, exploring students' spiritual resources and more effectively blending spiritually-based interventions across settings.
