Considering the recent events involving mass violence, the Kentucky Department of Education would like to connect schools, families and the community with resources for talking with children about mass shootings and other events involving violence. The linked document, which was initially compiled by The University of Kentucky’s Center on Trauma and Children, provides resources that can be used across developmental stages.
