Riverside Trauma Center

After hearing the news of the mass murder of students and teachers in Texas, many of us will experience a range of reactions.

This is especially true for children. Their reactions may include:

- emotions (sadness, anger, shock, fear, etc.)
- changes in thoughts (difficulty concentrating, repetitive thoughts of the situation)
- physical reactions (feeling sick, headaches, not sleeping well, etc.)
- returning to older behaviors (bedwetting, needing physical closeness with parents, fighting more, etc.)

Traumatic events often lead people to feel they have lost control of their sense of safety. Here are resources on how to help children cope with the frightening news and their reactions:
