Family Resources: Here are some more sources for guidance and information on the topic of discussing tragedy with youth.
- Be Informed: Inform yourself with facts, but do not pretend to be an expert
- Feelings: Acknowledge your own feelings and thoughts to avoid biases and inserting personal beliefs and thoughts
- Let’s Talk: Keep the conversation brief and developmentally appropriate. Validate students’ feelings and thoughts.
- Questions: It is okay not to have all the answers. Redirect the conversation to appropriate trusted adults.
