Resources to Help Children Deal with Violence
Parents should “check in” with children of all ages after a school shooting, but many may ask “What should I say?”
To help you help others, the National Council on Family Relations has put together an extensive list of resources from reputable organizations to help families, educators and anyone working with children address the situation. These include materials from the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Psychological Association, Extension, and U.S. Dept of Education.
Another collection from the University of Minnesota Extension Service might provide additional help and information. If you have questions, please contact Jane Riffe.
