State Board shares resources for children, families and educators.

In response to the mass shooting in Las Vegas, the Illinois State Board of Education has compiled a list of resources for parents and educators to help children and youth handle traumatic events. The list was shared in a recent Weekly Message from State Superintendent Tony Smith, Ph.D.:

  • Coping with Traumatic Events: Resources for Children, Parents, Educators, and Other Professionals from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
  • Helping Children and Adolescents Cope with Violence and Disasters: What Parents Can Do from the National Institute of Mental Health
  • Helping Kids After a Shooting from the American School Counselor Association
  • Resources from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network
  • Talking to Children About Tragedies & Other News Events from the American Academy of Pediatrics

Additional resources from the State Board on a variety of topics are available at https://www.isbe.net/Pages/Climate-and-Culture.aspx.
