2023 CCR YEAR-IN-REVIEW
As another busy year drew to a close, CCR reflected on the many activities we undertook to help children and youth get the support and services they need for their mental health and wellness.

With a focus on increasing equity, we expanded offerings to a broader age range and more child-serving environments.
TALKING TO KIDS ABOUT HIGH-PROFILE ACTS OF VIOLENCE
Children and families may be profoundly affected by mass violence, acts of terrorism, or community trauma. Adults and caregivers may need support to know how to navigate their own emotions and reactions as well as those of their children.
In response to the Fourth of July parade shooting in Highland Park, Illinois and the Robb Elementary School shooting in Uvalde, Texas, the National Child Traumatic Stress Network has developed resources to help children, families, educators, and communities navigate what they are seeing and hearing, acknowledge their feelings, and find ways to cope together.
