Supporting Children During Sad and Scary Times
Helping Families Affected by the Bushfires
Emergencies like bushfires or the scenes that emerge afterward can be overwhelming, particularly for young children. Sesame Workshop is here to help. See below for tips, guides, and video resources on offering comfort, helping children feel prepared for emergencies, and talking together about fires, traumatic experiences, and scary news. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, families can find strength and resilience within their community.
