When A Terrible Thing Happens - Skylight

News and images of disasters have unsettled many, including children and teens. This workshop will offer ways to support and to build up the resilience of anyone anxious about possible future disasters - whatever their age. It will also look at how families can build up their coping skills to get through the disasters - as well as tragedies of life in general - and recover from them well. A very practical, reassuring and motivating workshop for all parents: to help themselves, and their children, and others who may be impacted by tragedy.
