Resources to support children and families in times of war and conflict
War and conflict create worry, stress, uncertainty, and anger for families around the world. We as adults may also have difficulty helping children make sense of what they are hearing and seeing about war through traditional media or social media. Here collected are resources for parents and educators to use that can help children process what they are learning about war, navigate challenging conversations, recognize their feelings, and use effective coping skills.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by the current conflict in Ukraine and to all who are impacted by the trauma of war.
Parents/guardians can click here to find resources and support to help talk to their children about war, learn coping strategies, and access services. Staff have also been provided with resources.
Click here for a video with advice on how to talk about war with kids for parents and caregivers.
