Brief Description
Very young children are exposed to stress and anxiety as a result of community violence (mass shootings; hate crimes; gang violence) even if they are not directly exposed to the violence itself. For those of us working with caregivers—parents, family members, teachers—it is crucial to understand the impacts of this type of stress; how to support caregivers to mitigate it; and how to regulate ourselves and other adults so we can be present as sturdy attachment figures.
