Supporting Children after Crisis and Loss
September 27th, 2018 I Morning and Evening Session Available
|
|
As the first anniversary of the 1st October concert shooting in Las Vegas approaches, many children are still having reactions to the tragic events. The anniversary and media coverage may cause children to experience fear, anxiety and other feelings they felt at the time of the shooting, or remind them of the loss or injury of someone they knew or loved. Strong emotional reactions can occur even in children who have not experienced
significant difficulty over the last year. In addition, attention to one crisis often reminds children of other difficulties in their lives—whether they be past events, ongoing challenges, or concerns about futures losses or crises.
Drawing on over 30 years’ experience in providing support in the aftermath of tragedy, David J. Schonfeld, MD, the Director of the National Center for School Crisis and Bereavement, will offer practical advice and answer questions about what we all can do to offer support to children in times of crisis and loss, as well as how to prepare children for the one-year anniversary of 1 October. Representatives from the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center, Clark County School District and Adam’s Place will be present to answer questions and provide information about local resources for families.

Approximately 3,500 babies die from sleep-related deaths every year. We can change those numbers by having better conversations with caregivers about what safe sleep recommendations look like and why following them can save a baby's life.
To help support and spark those conversations, take
this
video quiz that reviews recommended safe sleep practices. The quiz is not a test; instead, it is an interactive teaching tool to help health professionals engage families in conversations about what safe sleep looks like and why it is important.
