MANCHESTER (UK) BOMBING - Resources?

Hi Dawn, my thoughts with everyone affected by this terrible attack.  Here are a set of resources on the 'We Are Teachers' website that might be of some use: https://www.weareteachers.com/...de-childhood-trauma/  and I've just found this resource too, from the Trauma Informed Care Project: http://www.traumainformedcarep...rauma%20informed.PDF

Finally, here's a brief piece for young people on the BBC Newsround website - http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/13865002   

Dawn, we are following the tragic events in your country with the deepest sympathy and solidarity to prevent violence of all types wherever it is happening.  I would suggest that you take a look at the resources compiled by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN), established by Congress and funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, US Department of Health and Human Services. These resources are specific to terrorism and there may be other helpful information on the site.

Thank you so much - I have shared with schools in our network.

Thank you for this resource, we have shared with schools and I have shared with parents too.

Has anyone ever run a workshop for parents or schools in lieu of such an event, or even in preparation (as distressing as the prospect of preparing is), thanks

To make a significant individual improvement for the impact of trauma, use Thought Field Therapy. Find out how at: www.rogercallahan.com and thoughtfieldtherapy.net. Application of Thought Field Therapy (TFT) can immediately produce emotional healing and calming. It was named by Kosovo as the #1 treatment for soldiers and victims. It works, it works fast, results last, and can easily be taught to others to use with their loved ones.

Mr. Rogers' advice to tell young children to "look for the helpers" seems to be right on target.  Also, parents need to realize that young children seeing news coverage of a traumatic event over and over, may experience it as happening again and again, and the event can re-traumatize them each time.  Turn off the TV when they are around.

Thank you all for the links, here is another we have found:   

Feeling with you Dawn    

Saw - and liked this today. Hope it helps
