Resources in Helping Students Cope with Recent Traumatic Events
It has been challenging for several weeks with stories and video from mass shootings, antisemitic attacks, and the brutal murder of Tyre Nichols dominating the news.
Our students know they can get support from our incredible faculty and counselors. In addition, we provided our staff and parents the following resources to help our students process these senseless tragedies and actions:
The Center for Racial Justice in Education’s RESOURCES FOR TALKING ABOUT RACE, RACISM AND RACIALIZED VIOLENCE WITH KIDS. This is an incredible collection of educational materials and parental resources.
