Talking to Children about Violence - Resources for You

MPCSD and its schools are increasing mental health resources as needed during this difficult time. To help you manage difficult conversations at home, here are some resources: National Association of School Psychologists tips on talking to kids about violence; Common Sense Media talking to kids about violence, crime and war; Common Sense Media talking to kids about school shootings; American Psychological Association helping kids manage distress after a shooting. If you need other help, please start by asking your school counselor or administrator.
