The young adult years can bring about much change including; living independently, making decisions on a career path, developing significant relationships, and defining who you are and what you value in life. When a death is experienced during this developmental stage it impacts all these life adjustments that are taking place. Finding support and ways to cope with a significant death as a young adult can be difficult given limited resources available.

In this presentation we will discuss:

• How grief and loss impact young adults

• Factors that influence how individuals grieve

• The challenges young adults face when impacted by a significant death

• What is helpful and ways to best support young adults after a death
