Hurricanes have touched all of our lives. But the impact on children can have a life-long effect. Children may have experienced the storm's wrath and destruction first hand and in the news. The following resources are for parents and caregivers of children effected by a hurricane. Changes in children's behavior is normal on occasion. If a child is not bouncing back to their usual behavior after a couple of weeks, that child may need professional help in learning how to cope with their thoughts and fears related to the traumatic event. If a child is having difficulty sleeping, nightmares when they do, withdrawing from family and friends, or having unexplainable body aches, they may be experiencing the effects of trauma and need help.
