Help for the Hard Times: Getting Through Loss »

Earl Hipp is a writer, professional speaker and part time adventurer. He flies airplanes with and without engines, he's a Big Brother, he has Bungee jumped in New Zealand, spends winters hiking in the mountains of Arizona, and he is a recovering marathon runner who now loves to roller blade.

Earl Hipp addresses loss from the perspective of the heart. He discusses young people's experiences with loss and helps them figure out ways to continue functioning after loss. You will provide students with tools to grieve and ways to keep their losses from becoming too overwhelming.
