Welcome students to the session. Introduce yourself and briefly explain that today’s goal is to explore grief and learn healthy ways to cope together. Remind them of confidentiality and that this is a safe space.

Read aloud the objectives. Emphasize that there’s no right or wrong feeling. Encourage honesty and remind students they can pass or draw if they prefer.

Go over each guideline and invite students to add any others they think are important. Post the chart prominently.

Provide each student with a Grief Emotion Card face down. Model sharing your own example. Prompt supportive responses after each share.

Distribute poster paper and markers. Circulate to prompt students who need help generating ideas. Offer sentence starters if needed.

Invite volunteers to share one strategy from their collage. Summarize the main takeaways and lead the deep-breathing exercise. Thank students for their participation.
