Resources for Parents After Tragedies


Resources for Parents After Tragedies

I am shocked and immensely saddened by the events which took place today. As a
 parent and as a professional in the mental health field, I cannot fathom the profound 
grief and loss of those parents, teachers, first responders, and the entire community 
around Newtown. The ripples of that tragedy reach us here in Lane County where 
we live, work, and raise children of our own. Please take care of yourselves, take 
extra time to be with those you love, and seek assistance if you or your child needs help. 
The resources below may help.
