Psychological Services
In the wake of the high profile situation at Castleview Elementary School, and following so closely to the tragedy in Las Vegas, you may have questions regarding how to discuss these events with your student. The most important thing for parents to remember is to be open with your child or teenager; encouraging them to talk about what they are feeling or thinking. You may not always feel like you have the “right” answer; however, your willingness to discuss difficult issues increases your child’s sense of safety and helps them understand they are not alone in their feelings. Listed below are some resources for how to support your student (and yourself) in times of trauma and tragedy. Remember, Riverside Unified School District’s Psychological Services and Student Assistance Program, are here to support your child’s well-being.
