Traumatic events or hardships often impact our children. Such events can range from a serious illness, the death of friend or family member, to a sudden change in economic or living situation. Traumatic events can be isolated to a child, the immediate family, or it may extend to an entire community.
When children are experiencing stress or distress, sometimes it is apparent. They may display their feelings by acting sad, quiet, withdrawn, angry, fearful, or easily agitated. Some children may be able to verbalize their feelings; others may not. Emerson has resources to help. If your child has gone through any crisis that is impacting behavior or performance in school, please contact a teacher, counselor, school psychologist, or administrator for guidance. Emerson has both a part time counselor and a part-time school psychologist. If we are unable to meet your child’s needs, we can offer parents referrals to other agencies in our community.
