Creating Calm During Chaos
A Simple Guide for Supporting Children in Disasters
During and after disasters, kids need to feel safe, loved, and supported. Parents and caregivers can help by listening carefully, showing kindness, giving hope, and keeping things calm.
This guide will help you support children in tough times.
Stronger than the Storm serves to connect people and organizations that are focused on, or curious about, the following topics:
1. WHAT is the reality for children in a post-event world.
2. WHY it matters that children’s needs are addressed.
3. WHAT the real versus ideal currently is.
4. WHEN and WHAT action needs to be taken.
