Peltz and the panel of experts will explore a wide range of issues and offer advice and experts on topics including:
- How to help young children deal with concepts of death, dying and feeling safe:?What should you say to kids who are dealing with post traumatic stress syndrome and acute trauma??What impact does a traumatic event like this have on the children who were there, their families (and extended families) and the first responders? What do you say to a child who lives in a nearby town, who is now scared to go to school? ?How do you answer your 5-year old who asks if this is going to happen at their school?even if they live in a different state, or across the country in California or Washington State? For the children who were in the elementary school, or who had a younger brother or sister who was there and got out safely, how do you help a child process what happened ? and how can siblings be there for each other? ?How can parents keep the lines of communication open for their children who are in acute need of help? How do you help a child who saw the horrific events unfolding ? either other students covered in blood, or a dead teacher or dead classmates, or even just hearing the sound of bullets? How do you answer kids who ask if there are evil people in the world who do these kinds of things? Developmentally ? how do kids understand death?
- The mental health of the adults?parents, first responders, friends, extended family, members of the community and others?coping with the trauma and stress of the tragedy: How can the families suffering losses cope with the unbearable grief? What can you do to calm the fears of your children?and yourself? ?How can people cope with a general sense of hopelessness ? a feeling that the world is spinning out of control, with constant horrible tragedies? How can we help people who feel like they don?t have a right to be upset about the situation to cope with their feelings about what happened (ie? I wasn?t there; I don?t know anyone involved; I know someone involved, but it wasn?t my child, spouse)?
- Trying to understand the mindset of young people who kill: What triggers their violence and can it be prevented? why would an adult go into an elementary school and kill innocent children? Was he mentally ill, and what types of mental illness could drive someone in this direction? How can we ?find? people at risk, someone who might do something similar in the future?
- Media coverage:?How helpful are things like Saturday Night Live?s cold open this week featuring the New York City Children?s Chorus singing ?Silent Night? to pay tribute to the adults and children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School? How can we ?zone out? the intense media coverage ? the visuals which are flashing on the screen of the ?shooter? Why do we seem to have a basic human ?need? to know every detail of these horrific events? Is this a recent development, based on our media culture? Or more wired into our human-animal nature?
- Teachers:?Addressing the heroism of the teachers who gave their lives, paying tribute to teachers? dedication to their students and doing everything they could do to protect their students.
