Please join us for a conversation on helping children, teens and adults cope with the aftermath of school and community violence. We will talk about how to talk to children and teens, as well as discuss strategies to manage anxiety and stress across the life span.
We welcome also those interested in learning about our training program and its other efforts to provide support to families. Admissions and Program Directors will be available to answer questions.
