Following the devastating events in Ukraine the Child Life Disaster Relief deployment team were able to facilitate a number of activities to promote normalization, expression, and coping. Some of the activities encouraged creative expression through movement, yoga, dancing, and drawing. One of the participants shared how she found artwork to have a positive impact in her ability to feel comfortable sharing feelings and opening up! We are so grateful our deployment team was able to work with these children to find ways that allowed them to express and cope with the many feelings they experience.

Our hearts and thoughts are with all those impacted by the McKinney and surrounding wildifres.

For all those directly, or indirectly impacted, we have free resources for caregivers available. These resources can help with explaining the wildfires, processing through play, and expressing feelings.
With many outlets providing coverage of the devastation, children near and far to California and Oregon may have concerns. They may have heard the news or be picking up on our emotions. Be honest with children and keep explanations simple. Encourage children to ask questions and lead the discussion.

Here are a few ideas to support children who may be concerned. Additional free resources are available on our website.
