    TALKING ABOUT CRISIS

    • National tragedies can cause a range of emotions for both adults and children, such as feeling frightened or confused. From natural disasters to terrorist attacks, it is important that adults give children information and guidance on how to process and react. Helping children feel safe and secure and providing them with ways to cope is the most important thing we can do. For more information please use the following resources:
