In addition, we are happy to give permission to use articles and quotes from our website or publications with prior permission, acknowledgement of our organization, and contact information so people will know how to get in touch with us.When a a tragic or upsetting story hits the news, parents and other caring adults often react in fear, which can lead to their children becoming worried or even traumatized. Instead, adults can learn to stay calm; to create effective safety plans for their families, organizations, and schools; and to practice skills for themselves and the young people in their lives that will keep them safe most of the time.We have photos, sample press releases, and quotes that media resources can use for their stories.
