Reflections on schools, children and tragedy… online resources to help the healing

December 16, 2012 by Kate Anthony

Our colleague, Julie Cohen of linksforshrinks has suggested that those of us in the mental health field who typically use social media to promote our private practices, take 24 hours off from those efforts to help spread resources and information that may help anyone struggling with the events of December 14, 2012.

On 12/14/2012, 20 children were killed in a heinous massacre at an elementary school in the United States in Newtown, CT and 22 children were stabbed at an elementary school in China. Whatever  for? We may never know. I do want to offer some resources for parents, counselors, community volunteers and others who may be assisting and helping in the wake of these tragedies.

If you are in the U.S. and experiencing signs of distress as a result of yesterday’s tragedy, please seek help at http://1.usa.gov/P4DWBe  or call 1-800-985-5990.

If you are in other parts of the world and you are experiencing crisis, visit http://www.befrienders.org.

Finally, this downloadable  publication is available in english and spanish:

Helping Children and Adolescents Cope with Violence and Disasters: What Parents Can Do

Most importantly in the days ahead, while everyone speculates with endless news feed, take time to love the little children all around you.
