I spent several hours today tracking down what I thought might some useful resources for a new section at the main site. Since it's going to take me a few days to get it ready, I thought it would be worth posting parts of it here, first. Learning to Cope American Psychology Association - What happens to people after a disaster or other traumatic event? National Institute of Mental Health has a special section on Response to Terrorist Acts Against America. The National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology offers a list of over 1,000 credentialed psychologists who have volunteered to offer healthcare services to the victims and their families. Beliefnet - Find a local house of worship, faith-by-faith guide for dealing with death, participate in an online prayer circle for the victims of the terrorist attack, and discuss other theological issues. GriefNet, supervised by Cendra Lynn, Ph.D., is an Internet community dealing with grief, death, and major loss. Their companion site, Trauma Information Pages by David Baldwin - Originally started after the OKC tragedy, this site offers extensive information about dealing with emotional trauma and traumatic stress. Groups@AOL - Join a support group to share prayers, thoughts, and feelings about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. JewzNewz - Jewish oriented Crisis Information Center For Parents & Teachers National Association of School Psychologists - Coping With a National Tragedy What to tell your kids - from MSN's Women Central pages KidsHealth for Parents - How to talk to your child about the news, including 'How Kids Perceive the News' Talking With Kids - Ten tips about TV News Talking to Children in Times of Tragedy - Bright Horizons has pulled together a team of experts to help parents guide, comfort, and help their children cope through this time. ParentsTalk - Our children's lives have changed. How can we help them? YMCA - Coping with Tragedies: A PDF Tip Sheet (requires Adobe Acrobat) Dr Spock - Helping your children cope with the news of reported terrorist attacks. Parenting.com - Grace Under Fire - How to help your child handle the tough times. USA Today - Before you try to help your children... NY Times - Lesson plan for grades 6-12 on 'Exploring Responses to the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001' For Teens CNN Student Bureau - Students react with disbelief to terrorism tragedy YouthNoise - What can we do about the tragedy?

This is wonderful - I, for one, was put in a position where I had to tell my class about the events. We were told that the principal would make an announcement to inform the school, and that we shouldn't discuss it beforehand. When she finally came over the intercom to tell the school of the events, all she did was announce that there had been a terrible incident of terrorism - and told them where it had happened. I was left to do the explaining and answer questions. I think I did all right, because the kids all responded with unexpected maturity (with a couple of exceptions, of course).. It surely would have been great if I could have had these resources before that experience... Thanks, m'friend..  |

What a wonderful idea! But to be honest, the very best resource for me is still right here, amongst the friends I've found at this site. Every emotion imaginable has been expressed, accepted, and shared. So I'm still putting Passions at the very top of the list. |
