When tragedy strikes close to home, children look to the adults in their lives to help them make sense of a world that suddenly feels uncertain and unsafe. As parents, we want to say and do the right thing — but knowing where to start isn’t always easy.

Join us for When Scary Things Happen, a one-hour conversation designed to help you support your child in the wake of frightening events in our community. Together, we’ll explore how to open the door to honest, age-appropriate conversations; how to create space for your child’s emotions without feeling like you need all the answers; and how to recognize when your child may need extra support.

You don’t have to have the perfect words. You just have to show up — and we’re here to help you do that.

Hosted by the Lisa Coyne, Phd with the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety. All parents and caregivers are welcome. Thursday 5/28, 5:30 – 6:30, via Zoom.
