Children and Fear of War and Terrorism - Tips for Parents and Teachers

Local representatives of The New York Association of School Psychologists are prepared to provide information, support and consultation to help secure the well being of our children following terrorist attack and other potentially traumatising events.

School psychologists are in every school district across New York State and work closely with the entire school community (teachers, administration and other district staff), and with parents and children. 

The National Association of School Psychologists has placed information that can help all adults who love and care about children on their website. Additional links are noted below.
