New Jersey schools will soon have to start teaching students about how to cope with grief as part of their curriculums. That's after Governor Phil Murphy signed a new law into effect this year.

Some schools in the Garden State, however, have already teaching coping schools to young people for years, like Union Catholic High School in Scotch Plains, New Jersey. 

Dr. Jennifer Dixon is the Director of School Counseling at Union Catholic, and 17-year-old Ava Pickering is a student at the school. They both joined WNYC's Michael Hill to walk through what almost a decade of educating students about the intricacies of loss looks like in practice.
