We Grieve for the Families and Community of Uvalde

We at the National Research Center on Hispanic Children & Families mourn the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas.

Words fail us right now, but we know that every child deserves to be safe. While nothing can undo this devastating loss and the lasting impact it will have on far too many families, we will continue to work hard, every day, to provide research and resources to inform services that support the well-being of our nation’s Latino children and families.

Below, we provide resources for parents, caregivers, and educators to help children begin to heal in the wake of such traumatic events. These supports, available in both English and Spanish, were developed by national organizations including The National Child Traumatic Stress Network, the American Psychological Association, and the Child Mind Institute.
