- Helping Children Cope with Frightening News (Child Mind Institute)

- Parental Resources - Tragic Events (Fred Rogers Website)
And some faith based:
And we remember them...
Loving God, Jesus gathered your little ones in his arms and blessed them. Have pity on those who mourn for the youth and teachers of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, in Parkland, Florida, innocents lost to the violence of our fallen world. As all things are possible with you, redeem this horror with the immensity of your love, and lead us to somehow love those who are responsible, filling our hearts with a spirit of forgiveness. Be with us as we struggle with the mysteries of life and death; in our pain, bring your comfort, and in our sorrow, bring your hope and your promise of new life, in the name of Jesus our Savior. Amen.
