The main objectives of the project were to: • Strengthen the professional capacities of the Association "Children First" and the Silesian University in Opava in the field of working with grieving youth; • Provide professional support to young people experiencing grief due to the loss of a loved one through the preparation and implementation of a pilot group support programme; • Inform both professionals and the general public by disseminating the knowledge and experiences gained in working with grieving youth.
The project "Youth grieving experience as a resource for personal growth and development" was designed for young people aged 18 to 29 who have experienced grief due to the death of a close person. It was developed in response to the lack of such services in the Republic of Croatia and the general absence of structured support for grieving youth at the societal level.
