Children’s Advocacy Center of Southern Arizona | 2329 E. Ajo Way
Like Dorothy in Wizard of Oz, who was abruptly transported from her home by a tornado, children separated from mothers and birth families will experience disorientation, fear, and trepidation as they find their footing in a new environment. This presentation addresses the effect of trauma on significant days of celebration as these are reminders of the missing people, traditions, and rituals in their lives. Learn how to help your children through these times.
