In an effort to support those traumatized by the Covenant School shooting, Scoville Counseling is offering extended hours, 5 free counseling sessions to Covenant families, teachers, & first responders, and will continue with a reduced rate/sliding scale rate for those individuals as needed.

Several people have asked how then can donate to Scoville Counseling to help cover the cost of the extra hours and pro bono sessions. If anyone feels inclined they may donate to our new business venmo account:

Elizabeth is a licensed psychotherapist and registered play therapist trained in SAFE EMDR for both children & adults (a type of trauma therapy).

Mrs. Elizabeth with Scoville Counseling received a lot of messages/texts and wanted to make a brief video on ways to best talk to kids/teens about the school shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville today.

As grownups we need to remain calm – this is scary and sad for everyone. Your kids/teens will look to you for emotional safety and stability – their nervous system will mirror yours.

Start the conversation – don’t wait for your kids/teens to ask you about what happened. Kids/teens need to know you will inform them, you’re an accurate source of information, and that it’s okay to talk about and discuss hard things.

Answer their questions, age appropriately – they need facts – remember, they need to know you will keep them informed and also this will reduce any confusion and limit misinformation. Try not to have the news going in the background all the time when you’re together.

Listen to your kids/teens. What questions to they have, let them lead the conversation - They may have 50 questions and they may have none either reaction and anything in between is okay – remember to focus on their worries & concerns, not what YOU think they are worried/concerned about.

Empathize with your kids/teens – “it is really sad. I felt scared, too.” Remind them, feelings aren’t good or bad – they’re just information. Feeling scared is our body’s way of alerting us to and preparing us for potential threat/danger. If they become upset by the conversation/discussion – that’s okay, it’s normal to be upset by scary things.

Emphasize safety – there are lots of grownups who look out for your kids/teens every day – parents, teachers, coaches, first responders, etc. If they ask, “are we safe?” if there is no immediate threat to you/them – tell them that.

Remind kids they aren’t alone – there are safe people you can always talk to, there are helpers, and I feel sad, scared, and angry, too.

Remind kids/teens what’s in their control. What can they do at home or in the classroom? Remind them of their coping skills – things like box breathing, rainbow around the room, 5 senses grounding, butterfly taps (EMDR bilateral stimulation), telling a grownup they need help, etc.

Be sure to circle back to and follow up with your kids/teens. Check in with yourself…you are not alone!
