How to Talk with Our Kids About Traumatic events

The tragic shooting in Las Vegas has hit our South Bay community hard. We continue to mourn the loss of a teacher, a law enforcement employee, and a parent. The outpouring of love was palpable at this Wednesday vigil at the pier, covered in thisBeach Reporter article. 

We are also grappling with how to talk with our kids about this tragic event, and others like it. in the hopes of supporting parents, caregivers and teachers during this difficult time, we have created a new page on SBFC, Traumatic Events. Please click on the button below to access that page which includes outstanding national resources, articles, tips and guides that will provide detailed information about how to be there for our kids and to find the right balance in our conversations with them about events that are painfully difficult to convey.
