COMMUNITY CORNER
Helping Children Cope with Traumatic Events

As the violence in Israel and Gaza continues, we know that many children around the world are disturbed and frightened by these ongoing events, whether or not they and their families have been directly impacted.

Join leading mental health and trauma experts in a special live event designed to help parents support children during these trying times. Topics include initiating conversations about traumatic events, helping children handle their emotions, and creating a supportive environment for your kids while also looking out for your own mental health.

Experts include:

  1. Dr. Matthew Biel, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Georgetown University
  2. Dr. Robin Gurwitch, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Professor of Psychiatry at Duke University, Senior Advisor for the National Center of Child Traumatic Stress' Terrorism and Disaster Program
  3. Dr. Harold S. Koplewicz, Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, President and Founder of the Child Mind Institute
