Talking to Children about Violence Resource

In light of the tragic events in Florida yesterday, we wanted to share this information with you as a resource for talking with your children about school violence.  As adults, incidents such as these are difficult to process and can entice fear in all of us. Our students, with varying levels of cognitive development, have an even more difficult time processing these traumatic events.  We need to continue to reassure children they are safe and take time to address their concerns if and when they arise.

If you are concerned about your child, please contact a school counselor, social worker, or school psychologist for more support.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
