KidsPeace Can Help Families Process School Shooting

Julius Licata, Director of ParentCentral.Net and TeenCentral.Net, is available to speak about the impact of school violence and offer guidance on how to talk to children about the shooting.

The shooting spree that left at least 26 people dead at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school this morning is the latest in a string of violent crimes in public places over the past year.

For those involved in such horrific tragedies, it is difficult to determine where to even begin the process of working through grief to healing. It’s natural for this type of violence to cause anxiety and fear even in people who were not directly affected.

KidsPeace is here to help children, parents and communities process such a senseless crime. Julius Licata, Ph.D., Director of ParentCentral.Net and TeenCentral.Net, is available to speak about the short-and long-term impact of such events, as well as to offer guidance on how to talk to children about the shooting and help them process what occurred. 

KidsPeace is proud to celebrate 130 years of giving hope, help and healing to children, families and communities. For more information, like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter @KidsPeace.

anything to get a finger in the pie, eh, Kidspeace? Oh, and while you're busy calling us, get your insurance card, medical assistance number and any other way we can get $$$ for this 'assistance'....Hey, maybe if the feds step in to offer aid to the victim's families, you can hop on that gravy train too.

KidsPeace does not charge for the work of its CIRT. It's important in the face of this tragedy to reach out to each other, help where we can and highlight the mental health services available to those in need.

more properly called a loss leader then

Please remember, while there have been negative stories about kidspeace, kidspeace employs thousands of counselors, my husband being one of them, he is trained and has worked in this field for over 20 years, so keep your assinine comments to yourself and let this company offer the help that many families need right now in dealing with this tragedy. You people and your posts are just sick, you should be ashamed!

I wouldn't send a twitchy farm animal to Kidspeace.....and yeah, I've known people who worked there.....no good reports there, as no reports of merit from people who had their kids treated there...for the 30 days the insurance paid....then 'see ya, don't call us, we'll call you'..... This is just one more way to piggyback themselves on the tragedy to try to make themselves look relevant at this time. Relevance to them equals $$$$$$.......see what we did, now send us your kids. Not in this lifetime. I stand by my original statement........the only 'help' they are interested in is their own pockets.

Sorry you feel that way Gramma. We have heard from many parents of children we've helped, as well as from some kids who have grown up and realized the impact KidsPeace made on their lives. I'm sure it's difficult for some people to understand the impact the treatment we offer could have unless you or a loved one has needed those services.

Everybody says "legalize it and tax it." That's just an oxymoron = once it is legal = youRead More can grow it in your back yard for free. Big Brother makes so much more already by enforcing the established laws, set up with the sole desire to incarcerate the addicted, that there will always be a fictional "War on Drugs."

Yes, and the person next to you drinking cannabis tea, does not effect you. The person who justRead More vaporized, does not effect you. Those hash oil tablets I just ate, won't effect you. Non-smoking means non-smoking - if there is someone smoking next to you, get out of the smoking section. You are right, marijuana is not like alcohol. If I were sitting next to you while I was high, and you annoyed the piss out of me by complaining about smokers in place that obviously allows smoking, I would just laugh it off or move away. I could smoke all night, and my mood would not change. If I were to drink, and keep drinking, eventually I would get confrontational, and we would be fighting. So, the guy next to you drinking can indeed effect you.

You fail to realize that making somthing illegal instantly makes that product very expensive on theRead More black market.......this is where crime takes hold.......Remember Al Capone and the mafia were most powerful during the prohibition of alcohol......and considering Pennsylvania garners high tax revenue from alcohol sales in state stores.....your suggestion is foolish...........This is AMERICA land of the FREE.......dont tell people how to live you dirty commie

I do want to express my excitement when the Phillies win games...Yesterday was majorly exciting with Galvis hitting that walk off home run following Kratz's whopper to tie the game!..But must the team have to wait for the last inning to do it?..Keep it up, Phillies.

Tea Party groups are all very separate with separate missions. I understand the ones targeted wereRead More seeking the tax free charitable status because their stated mission is to educate about issues. They are not an actual "political" party. They will usually look favorably upon any candidate for lower taxes and smaller government.At least that is my understanding.
