When children are exposed to traumatic events within their own neighborhoods, communities, or across the world, you can help them feel safer and more secure…and build hope for a more peaceful, kinder future. Community violence is violence that happens around you. Sadly, our world and communities are full of scary, disturbing news about people harming others. It’s hard to know how to explain such events to young children, or how much to share, but you can help them feel safer and more secure…and build hope for a more peaceful, kinder future.
