Crisis Resources
The following resources have been provided for students and families needing support with the Kenwood Middle School tragedy.
CMCSS has a partnership with Care Solace to make accessing mental health care even easier for families. Care Solace navigates the mental health care system to find available providers matched to specific needs – so you don’t have to. For an anonymous pathway to care, the community can utilize Care Match, a self-service tool, to find verified providers on their own. Click here to access CMCSS’ Care Match self-service tool.
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) has a resource for understanding age-related reactions to traumatic events. Click here to read the PDF.
The Center for Resilience and Well-Being in Schools has a resource for talking to children when scary things happen. Click here to read the PDF.
