Grief U for EDU is anchored in a signature 90-minute interactive workshop designed for educators, school teams, and districts seeking to build more responsive, grief-informed learning environments.

Whether working with individual schools, district leadership, or SEL teams, each session is tailored to align with your specific goals, initiatives, and student needs.

Grief U for EDU offerings are available both in-person and virtually.
Kera is based in the DMV area, with travel included as part of a customized proposal.

Virtual sessions are also available for schools and districts seeking a flexible, cost-effective option—without compromising impact or engagement.

Kera isn’t just speaking about grief—she’s lived it, studied it, and built community around it.

As the founder of Get Griefy Magazine, she’s connected with hundreds of grief professionals, gaining a deep understanding of loss that goes beyond theory—without becoming clinical or out of touch.

Her work is about making grief make sense in real life… especially in schools.

Because the goal of Grief U for EDU isn’t to turn educators into experts.

It’s to remind them of something powerful: you don’t have to be a specialist to support a grieving student.

We’ll talk through what your school needs and build a proposal that fits your goals—and your budget.

The reality is, grief is everywhere.

By the time students graduate, 1 in 5 will have experienced a significant loss within their household. And beyond death, grief extends to unmet expectations, unwanted change, difficult relationships, and disruptions to a student’s sense of stability and belonging.

Because at its core, grief is not just about who we lose—
it’s about what we lose.

And regardless of the source, the emotional impact often shows up in similar ways:
in behavior, in withdrawal, in disengagement, and in how students connect to school.

Which means this work isn’t optional.

Learning how to recognize, navigate, and support students experiencing grief is essential to keeping them engaged, connected, and present in their school community.

Kera has spent the majority of her career working in secondary school settings. Her expertise in grief and loss is specifically aligned to the developmental needs of adolescents and young adults.

For this reason, this workshop is best suited for secondary schools.

If you are seeking support for elementary settings, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to connect you with educators who specialize in that age group.
