The ICBN <b>Advisory Panel</b>, pictured above, held their second meeting on May 21st. The panel met to discuss development issues arising to progress the network. As a priority for the next six months it was agreed to focus on 2 of the 6 core strategic objectives. These 2 objectives include:<br />
1. Signposting professionals and the public to sources of bereavement support.<br />
2. Supporting professionals to find and share the knowledge and resources they need to deliver high quality effective, safe, evidence based, accessible bereavement support.<br />
<br />
To this end, the main focus of the ICBN will be to develop a website that is accessible, up-to-date and informative, to promote the network as required and to organise 4 regional networking events.<br />

<br /><b><i>How can we best support grieving children across different cultural backgrounds? </i></b><br />
This is the question addressed by the UK Childhood Bereavement Networks one day seminar <em><strong>'Cultures of grief: bereavement in young people's worlds'</strong></em> which takes place on <strong>Thursday May 2nd</strong> at the TUC congress Centre, London.<br />
The conference will examine the ways in which culture impacts on children's grief and assess
the implications of culture for professionals and volunteers
supporting bereaved children and young people taking a wide ranging view
examining how grief is represented in music, books, films and social
media. <br />
The conference would be beneficial
to anyone working directly and indirectly supporting bereaved children
in particular those working in the following settings; <br />
<ul>
<li>Bereavement support services</li>
<li>adult and children’s hospices</li>
<li>palliative care teams</li>
<li>children’s and early years organisations</li>
<li>schools, colleges and education services</li>
<li>Nursing and other health and social care services</li>
<li>police and other emergency services</li>
<li>other voluntary and statutory childcare organisations</li>
<li>faith and community groups supporting bereaved people</li>
<li>researchers in death and bereavement, childhood studies, cultural studies</li>
</ul>

Winston's Wish is a charity for children who have lost a parent, brother or
sister. Michael Rosen, the journalist, sits in on a training session for teachers and carers in
Cheltenham, and discovers how the language we use can either confuse or comfort
young children. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pp5v8">http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01pp5v8</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15881797757426265999noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1307492147290695166.post-34253745209335460852012-10-06T09:49:00.000-07:002012-10-06T09:49:08.969-07:00Physical & developmental effects of childhood bereavement - New studies <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Examining potential correlations between childhood bereavement and long term adverse mental and physical effects continues to provide considerable ground for research. <br />
<br />
Two recent studies present new insights into little explored long term issues for parentally bereaved children. <br />
<br />
Brent et al in <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23009724" target="_blank">'Longitudinal effects of parental bereavement on adolescent developmental competence</a>' examine the extent to which sudden parental bereavement in childhood hinders developmental competency. Their longitudinal study reported outcomes for 126 children who had experienced a sudden parental death, comparing to a similar non bereaved control group at various intervals up to 5 years post bereavement.<br />
Their findings indicated children who had experienced sudden loss of a parent illustrated less competence in educational development, career planning and peer relations into adulthood.<br />
<br />
Dietz et al in an article pre published this week in <i>Biological Psychiatry</i> examine <a href="http://www.biologicalpsychiatryjournal.com/article/S0006-3223%2812%2900726-3/abstract" target="_blank">cortisol response in parentally bereaved children. </a><br />
<br />
Their research which sampled cortisol in 181 bereaved and non bereaved subjects over a 5 year period found a higher cortisol output in children who had experienced parental bereavement. <br />
They conclude that this higher incidence of cortisol may represent an increased health risk worthy of further study. <br />

<span style="font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">This
seminar presentation explores the importance of communicating with children
when a parent or significant person has a life threatening illness. Parents and
professionals are often mindful of talking to the children about the illness
and possible death of the parent. However, there is growing research that
highlights the importance of talking with children and the negative
consequences when these conversations do not take place. The Communication
Continuum is a model that offers a practical resource when working with
children who are living with a parent (or other significant person) who has a
life threatening illness. Drawing on the work of Glaser and Strauss the model
can provide a practical tool for practitioners when they are assessing the
quality and quantity of information that children have about their parent’s
illness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

New research published this week in <i>The American Journal of Hospice & Palliative Medicine</i> examines the impact the death of a baby in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit can have on a sibling. <br />
<br />
'Loss in the NICU: Sibling Matters' by Sanders, Robinson & Carter outlines a methodology including a scripted intervew and facial expression rating adapted from the <a href="http://www.sjbhealth.org/documents/Pain%20Scale.pdf" target="_blank">Wong-Baker FACES pain scale</a> <br />
<br />
While the authors detail difficulty in accessing the full identified cohort for interview the study does highlight the lack of research on the impact of the loss of a child in the NICU on siblings and indicate avenues for further study. <br />
<br />
