Healthy Community Initiative

We are devastated and mourning following yet another horrific mass shooting in which two children were murdered and 18 other people were critically injured. Our hearts are with the Annunciation Church families and congregation as they grieve this incomprehensible tragedy. 

Students may be feeling anxious and afraid, and parents may be wondering what to do and say. We would like to offer these resources as we all try to support our children and each other. 

• Helping Kids Cope With Tragedy and Violence – Spark & Stitch Institute
• Helping Children Cope After a Traumatic Event – Child Mind Institute
• Additional resources are available through HCI’s website

As we grieve, HCI will continue to support children, youth, and families and work toward systems and policy changes that create healthier, safer communities.
