When something like threats of violence happens, we are naturally affected on an emotional level. Often, our sense of safety can understandably waver, which can lead to feeling a heightened state of anxiety and fear. So, at CARE we realize how important it can be to keep open lines of communication, as this can create a deeper sense of connection and trust and can establish a greater sense of safety. Considering recent trends, how do we talk with children and teens in response to social media messages encouraging violence? Dr. Heidi Bausch-Ryan at CARE Counseling offers the following advice on how to begin. Open Space for Kids and Teens to Talk About What They Are Experiencing
Ask Kids and Teens What Questions They Have
Provide Validation and Reassurance
Stay Grounded While Talking with Your Child
Establish a Safety or Coping Plan
Build Community to Strengthen the Community
