Helping Children Cope With Traumatic Events

This booklet provides practical guidance for caregivers—including parents, family members, teachers, clergy, and volunteers—on how to help support children after a traumatic event.
It provides readers with an overview of common reactions to trauma, including a breakdown of common signs and symptoms by age. Concrete steps for caring for children’s emotional and spiritual needs in the wake of a traumatic event are also provided.
We hope this resource, based on years of experience, is useful to you at this time. Feel free to share with family and friends.
