BRIEF SUMMARY
This page is currently under construction. If you have related content or resources to add, you may submit it via the “Contact Topic Manager” box below.
When disaster strikes (whether natural or man-made), counselors can be a voice of calm and healing. Having a plan in place ahead of time will allow us to be in the right head space to support our students and their families.
KEY POINTS
- This is a great time to reach out to the larger counseling community for resources and support.
- Sometimes, students will react to tragedies in the news, even if they don’t directly affect your community. It is good to be aware of the mindset of your students whenever there is a major event in the news.
