Our neighbors in Newtown have suffered a tragic loss.  Our thoughts, sympathies, and prayers are with them.  Our children may have questions about what happened; here are some resources that may help during this difficult time.

• American Psychological Association: Helping your children manage distress in the aftermath of a shooting
• National Institute of Mental Health: Helping Children and Adolescents Cope with Violence and Disasters: What Parents Can Do
• United Way of Connecticut 211: Emergency Mobile Psychiatric Services (Accessed by Calling 211)
