Resources for Talking With Children About
School Shootings
Discovery joins with our community and our nation in grieving the loss of our school children to violence.
Our hearts and prayers are with the families of those who have been lost.
If you or your children are in need of someone to talk to, please contact us about Grief Support or
Drop-In Counseling.
As you process these losses you may find yourself in conversations with your children about gun violence, the following resources may be useful to you.
