Tips For Supporting Children and Youth After A Crisis

Parkland School District does have procedures and practices available for any students in need of counseling.    Parkland has made district counselors and psychologists available to provide services to any students who request it.   In addition the district has reached out to the Intermediate unit 21 to use the "Flight Team."  The Flight Team are specially trained professionals through the crisis management institute.   District and supplemental resources will be available throughout the day to assist staff and students process the information and assist them in getting the support they need.   In addition, the district is aware that keeping a routine and avoiding repeated exposure to the television or social media coverage of the incident is advised.
