Please note:

  • Please be aware that this resource is NOT intended to replace mental health services for students in need. Depending on the tragic event, the proximity of the trauma, and other factors, students may need help on a more individual basis.
  • Teachers and counselors should closely monitor students’ reactions to activities. Students coping with tragedy respond differently to situations, activities, and feelings. Make decisions in the best interest of students. It is okay if some students refrain from participating in an activity. It may also mean some students need a referral to a school psychologist or counselor.
  • Be very clear with students about your intention to share (or not share) the final product(s) with others. If you intend to display or send any part of this home to parents, students should be aware of that before the activity begins.
  • This activity pack was created for communities experiencing a tragedy. This might include a natural disaster, the loss of a community member (including a teacher or student), or an act of violence (including a school shooting).
  • Though it was not intended to be used for students who experience (or are experiencing) chronic trauma or who have had traumatic experiences in their past, you may find that some of the activities and discussions are beneficial.

NOTE: THIS FILE INCLUDES A DIGITAL DISTANCE LEARNING OPTION!

This product includes a digital option (as well as the no-prep printable option). Instructions for using the digital portion appear at the end of the packet. The mini-book, comfort coins, and coloring pages are not included digitally.

This PDF file contains 36 pages + Google Slides.
