Add teen suicide and school shootings into the mix, and young lives and hearts seem to be more at stake than ever before. Edgy, fun-loving, tech-driven, and seemingly indestructible, their souls are shaking. Gnawing questions surface from deep inside: "How did this happen? Why me? Is this my fault? What am I supposed to do? Who's next? Am I going to make it?" Teen hearts are at risk. Each one is a priceless treasure. We can't afford to allow pain and loss to get the better of them.

Teen Grief also includes hints for group discussion so that this resource can also be used by school staff, across entire school districts, and in churches. Together, we can make a massive difference - one teen at a time. Parenting, education, teaching, coaching, quality relationships, personal health, diet, fitness, counseling, psychology, and therapy can all play a positive role in teen lives.
