Our Thoughts and Prayers are With the People of Connecticut

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Connecticut as, tragically, another community is experiencing the impact of violence. We are offering resources and assistance from our own Lessons Learned in dealing with the trauma and grief that come from such tragedy. Dr. Robin Gurwitch, an international expert on child grief, trauma and disaster mental health, worked with the Oklahoma City community following the bombing in 1995 and continues to work with Memorial staff as we reach out to those affected by this act of violence.

Both the American Psychological Association website and the National Child Traumatic Stress Network website provide resources for talking with children about shootings and psychological first aid. Links and other resources are listed below.
