In the wake of the school shooting in Nashville, some parents are having conversations with their children about tragedy and trauma.
Child psychologist shares how to speak to kids about tragedy and trauma after Nashville school shooting
"I just want to say, we all deserve a place to fall apart when things like this happen," said Ghosh Ippen, associate director of the Child Trauma Research Program at University of California, San Francisco. She added that although people who directly experience traumatic events like the shooting at Nashville Covenant School, that trauma may extend to the larger community and manifest in many ways.
Retired Santa Clara County Fire Captain Joe Viramontez is also helping these communities prepare for the worst. He and other retired firefighters and police officers created "ICS for Schools," or the Incident Command System for Schools. It’s heartbreaking to see images like the ones out of Nashville of kids walking single-file to safety, he said, adding that it adds to the urgency of the need for an emergency communication plan.
Viramontez's team trains school and district staff around the Bay Area and the state on how to respond to emergencies like fires, earthquakes and a school-shooters.
