How to Parent After Another School Shooting | Stephanie Small, Trauma Expert, LMFT
#163 How do we parent after what happened Wednesday? 17 people were killed in a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida. It was the second deadliest school shooting in US history. Our guest Stephanie Small consulted with local officials following the shooting at Sandy Hook elementary, as well as in San Bernardino, Paris, and Aurora, Colorado. Our guest has committed her life to helping people heal after these atrocities. And I’m honored that she’s our guest. I don’t have any written out questions. I just have this burning desire to get out information that can help families heal as we mourn as a nation.
We offer support in the following:
what to say to our children about the Florida shooting
how to find the courage to send our kids to school
how to support our teachers
what to tell our children to do if they are in a crisis situation
