How to talk to kids about the events
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Monday, the city of
In the past 48 hours we have witnessed acts of heroism and bravery by citizens of the Commonwealth, and as a community we have banned together to offer strength and comfort to our friends, family, and sometimes strangers. Monday’s events have shaken us all, and it is important to remember that there is no “normal” response under these circumstances. Please take time if you need it, seek assistance, and do not be afraid to ask for help—asking for help is a sign of strength, I encourage all of you to ensure that you are taking care of yourselves, family and friends first and foremost.
As Governor Patrick said in his email yesterday, HRD and human resource directors will be reaching out with information about counseling resources including the Employee Assistance Program, which is in place to assist Commonwealth employees, and their families. 24/7 support is available through EAP at
As the Commonwealth begins to recover, there may be many children and families who require our support and assistance now more than ever. The Children’s League provided a list of resources to help when discussing yesterday’s tragedies with children:
- How to Talk with Your Children about Boston Marathon Bombs - WBUR CommonHealth
- Media Coverage of Traumatic Events - National Center for PTSD
- 5 Tips on Talking to Children About Scary News - CNN
Helping Children Cope with Tragedy Related Anxiety - Mental Health America - Additional resources and information can be found on the Children's League webpage, Kids & Trauma.
We have received messages of support from our child welfare colleagues across the country. This morning I got a note from NYC Child Welfare Commissioner Ron Richter offering the experience of his staff as we figure out how to best respond to the needs of our children, families and communities.
Thank you for all that you do, each and everyday, to care for and support our children and families.
Best,
Angelo
