Camp
Brave Heart
A video that was filmed at a grief camp for teens and
features teens from diverse families working through
their own grief, sharing concerns, fears and their ideas
on how they have coped with the loss of a very close
loved one. This is an excellent resource for middle
and high schools. Aimed directly at teens, this video
moves very rapidly, covering a lot of ground. In fact,
because so much intense information is discussed, a
30-second “breather” segment occurs about
11 minutes through the program. A discussion leader
can STOP and PAUSE the tape at this point for discussion.
Three highly seasoned and “teen friendly” adult grief counselors and spiritual directors reinforce
key points. Includes a special introduction acknowledging
the tragedy of September 11, 2001.
