Thoughtful pointers from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network….

The attack on Ukraine has evoked many emotions including anger, fear, anxiety, worry, and confusion. Most children will learn about the war and its consequences through the media or social media. Caregivers and children alike may be struggling to make sense of what they are seeing and hearing.
