“I Normally Think about It before Bed. It’s Really Lonely and Dark… and then You Just Can’t Sleep”: Using Arts-Based Existential Interventions to Support Children Grappling with Death

Thursday October 23, 2025 11:00 AM - 11:45 AM ET (15:00 - 15:45 UTC)

Subject Area: Personality/Emotion

Abstract

Children are curious about death, yet many parents and teachers report feeling uncomfortable and unqualified to discuss it with them. Results from qualitative findings suggest that art-based interventions can facilitate meaningful discussions on this topic, with children noting enhanced emotional expression, increased empathy, and significant shifts in perspective.
