There is nothing that grips our hearts with grief more than violence done onto children. These resources are being provided in light of the tragic event that occurred Tuesday May 24, 2022, in Texas where an 18-year old opened fire in an elementary school killing 19 children and 2 teachers, and the racist attack that resulted in the deaths of 10 people in Buffalo a week prior.

Below are a few resources for how you can talk with children about violence and school shootings:

No hay nada que aprisione más nuestros corazones con dolor que la violencia contra los niños. Estos recursos se brindan ante el trágico hecho ocurrido el martes 24 de mayo de 2022 en Texas donde un joven de 18 años abrió fuego en una escuela primaria matando a 19 niños y 2 maestros, y el ataque racista que resultó en la muerte de 10 personas en Buffalo una semana antes.
