An Investigation of the Grief Counseling Services Available in the Middle Schools and High Schools in the State of Mississippi

This article reports survey results of 233 school guidance counselors, 42% of whom reported that grief counseling services were available in their schools. This 1993 study also determined if such services were initiated by a specific death, if services were ongoing, & the primary provider of services. Findings indicate there is a real need for Mississippi State school administrators to provide or make available grief counseling services for students in middle school & high schools. (22 Refs.)
