DISCLAIMER
All information is shared as a courtesy for educational purposes only. This is not a substitute for professional care, legal advice, or emergency services.

Contact providers to verify hours, eligibility, and availability.
International conflict has the potential to be upsetting and to cause concern for safety. Many people feel affected by the attack on Israel, the subsequent military response, and related loss of innocent lives. Some people may worry about family and friends in the Middle East or the possibility of Americans being at risk. News coverage may be triggering to individuals who have experienced violence here at home or war in other parts of the world. Still other marginalized groups may feel like the news coverage and narrative minimizes experiences of violence elsewhere that has not captured this level of world attention.
Caregivers and educators can help children and youth feel safe by helping them understand what is going on factually, how events do or do not affect their lives, and how to manage their emotional reactions.

Upper Elementary and Early Middle School
Upper Middle and High School
The degree to which individuals are affected will vary. Children and youth (and potentially their families) at greater risk may include those who have connections to Israel and Palestine, have loved ones significantly affected by the conflict, have personally experienced or are refugees from violent conflict or war, or who suffer from posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, or other mental illness. During conflicts like these, it is important to protect children and youth from bullying and harassment caused by misdirected anger. Promoting and modeling compassion and acceptance can help prevent a tragic situation from becoming worse.
Emotional responses to unsettling circumstances vary in nature and severity from individual to individual. Nonetheless, there are some common reactions that individuals feel when their lives are affected by violence related to international conflict:
While this conflict may be geographically distant, it has relevance here at home, is ongoing, and is occurring in the context of other stressors. This can contribute to more serious chronic stress and potential associated health problems. Adults should attend to the layers of challenge experienced by youth in this situation. It is critical that schools provide services and supports to help youth establish positive social connections and resilience.
Reaffirm Safety
Make Time to Talk
Acknowledge and Normalize Feelings
Maintain a Normal Routine
Limit Exposure to Media and Social Media
Monitor Emotional States
Know the Signs of More Serious Trauma Reactions
Most youth will be able to cope with their concerns with the help of caring adults. However, some may be at risk of more extreme reactions because of personal circumstances. Adults should seek professional help if children exhibit significant changes in behavior or any of the following symptoms for more than 2 weeks.
Some youth may be at increased risk of suicide because of their emotional reaction to increased stress and any preexisting mental health problems. Consult a mental health professional immediately if the youth talks about suicide or shows signs of suicidal thinking or other self-destructive behaviors. (See NASP resources for information about prevention of youth suicide.)
Teach Adaptive Coping Strategies
Teach and model strategies to help individuals calm themselves in times of stress. Some strategies for coping include the following:
Work alongside students to take actionable steps for social justice issues as appropriate to age and contexts.

Refugee children may feel relieved when they are resettled in the US. However, the difficulties they face do not end upon their arrival.
Early childhood trauma generally refers to the traumatic experiences that occur to children aged 0-6.
Many refugees, especially children, have experienced trauma related to war or persecution that may affect their mental and physical health long after the events have occurred.
Contains information about cultural beliefs, medical issues, and related topics pertinent to the health care of immigrants to the US, many of whom are refugees fleeing war-torn parts of the world.

The best time to prepare for any disaster is before it happens.

If an earthquake happens, protect yourself right away:

Wherever you are, drop down to your hands and knees and hold onto something sturdy. If you’re using a wheelchair or walker with a seat, make sure your wheels are locked and remain seated until the shaking stops.
Cover your head and neck with your arms. If a sturdy table or desk is nearby, crawl underneath it for shelter. If no shelter is nearby, crawl next to an interior wall (away from windows). Crawl only if you can reach better cover without going through an area with more debris. Stay on your knees or bent over to protect vital organs.
If you are under a table or desk, hold on with one hand and be ready to move with it if it moves. If seated and unable to drop to the floor, bend forward, cover your head with your arms and hold on to your neck with both hands.




There can be serious hazards after an earthquake, such as damage to the building, leaking gas and water lines, or downed power lines.

Once you are safe, pay attention to local news reports for emergency information and instructions via battery-operated radio, TV, social media or from cell phone text alerts.
Plan for your regular needs and know what you would do if they become limited or unavailable.
Disability intersects every demographic group—there are people with disabilities of all ages, races, sex or national origin. And, disabilities can impact a person in a variety of ways—both visible and invisible. For people with disabilities and their families, it is important to consider individual circumstances and needs to effectively prepare for emergencies and disasters.
In the event of a disaster could you make it on your own for several days? After a disaster you may not have access to a medical facility or even a drugstore. It’s crucial to plan for your daily needs and know what you would do if they become limited or unavailable. Additional planning steps include:

A disaster can disrupt mail service for days or weeks. If you depend on Social Security or other regular benefits, switching to electronic payments is an easy way to protect yourself financially before disaster strikes. It also eliminates the risk of stolen checks. The U.S. Department of the Treasury recommends two safer ways to get federal benefits:
In addition to having your basic survival supplies, an emergency kit should have items to meet your individual needs in various emergencies. Consider the items you use every day and which ones you may need to add to your kit.
People with disabilities, access and functional needs, and older adults may be at increased risk to extreme heat. For example:
It is important to plan ahead, take precautions, have support, and be aware of the symptoms of heat exposure. Keep these tips in mind during extreme heat:

Families Anonymous celebrated our 50th Anniversary in 2021. We were formed in 1971 by a group of concerned parents in California who were seeking ways of dealing with the problem of substance abuse and addiction in their children. Our members include parents, grandparents, siblings, spouses, significant others, other family members and friends of those with a current, suspected or former drug problem. We have been one of the best kept secrets in the recovery community, even though we have groups throughout the world.
Families Anonymous is a 12 Step fellowship for the families and friends who have known a feeling of desperation concerning the destructive behavior of someone very near to them, whether caused by drugs, alcohol, or related behavioral problems. When you come into our rooms you are no longer alone, but among friends who have experienced similar problems. Any concerned person is encouraged to attend our meetings, even if there is only a suspicion of a problem.
Your identity is protected in our meetings. We know each other by our first names only. Anonymity of our members is paramount to the success of our program. Not only is anonymity an underlying principle of the program, but it is so important that it is part of our name.
You have nothing to lose but your pain and anger. Read on if you are ready to find the peace and serenity that our members have found through the working of the FA program.

Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) – Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a web-based course for family members of Veterans working to manage PTSD. This course teaches family members how to encourage their Veteran to get treatment and support them during care. It also offers tools for family members to improve their own quality of life.
Features include:
Get Started: Launch CRAFT-PTSD Course
This course can help you learn more about the symptoms of PTSD and the impact PTSD can have in some relationships. You will learn and practice new skills that help family members to communicate more effectively. CRAFT-PTSD also covers strategies that will help you to take care of yourself, whether or not your loved one decides to seek PTSD services.
This is a self-paced course with the opportunity to print or save exercises in each lesson. We recommend that you move through sections in order, and that you practice the skills described in each lesson between your sessions.
CRAFT-PTSD includes information about the options available for Veterans who may benefit from PTSD treatment in VA or in the community. Those who are not members of a military family can also get useful information in this course.
NOTE: CRAFT-PTSD is not a substitute for medical care or advice from a provider. Only a licensed professional can diagnose PTSD.
The information you enter as you move through the course will be available to you until you close your browser window. At that time, your information is deleted, which is why we give you the option to print or save your personal summary. None of the information you enter will be stored or shared. Some anonymous information is collected automatically, however. Please see VA’s privacy policy for a list of information that is collected automatically.
