Season 3, Episode 4: Coping with Grief

The emotional trauma brought on by the death of a close family member is often accompanied by varied emotional responses. Adults have difficulty processing death, but how do we have a healthy and successful discussion about death to their offspring?  We will discuss how to talk to your children about death with our Guest Momologist, Kymberly Akpowowo. 

Guest Momologist: Kymberly is a xennial blogger, advocate, and licensed social worker with experience in mental health, community administration, and advocacy.  She is multi-passionate about health-related topics, politics, poverty, and women’s empowerment just to name a few. Her main focus is supporting youth, their parents, and other youth-focused organizations in the transition from adolescence to adulthood and helping other social workers utilize their current skills and abilities to social work differently. Through her podcast, Unlearned, she has made it her personal agenda to keep the uninformed informed about all things social work.  She currently works for the State of Texas Social Services Surveyor where she has the privilege of investigating incidents and auditing long-term care facilities to ensure that the geriatric population are receiving the care they need.
