The Center for Mental Health in Schools distributed a message about helping children cope with a disaster, including a list of resources. Portions of the message follow: Adults can begin to restore emotional well being by acknowledging feelings, asking for support, reestablishing routines, reaching out to others. They can care for the needs of children and youngsters by listening to their feelings and fears, providing information to clarify what occurred and whether it can affect their lives, and by reestablishing routines that will comfort and reassure.
