The Parents Trauma Resource Center is an excellent tool for parents and caregivers to easily find detailed information about grief and trauma. Included in this site are:

• Information describing typical grief and trauma reactions and the difference between the two.
  
• Ways parents can help their child, as well as help themselves.
  
• Ways to deal with specific concerns, like behavioral problems, sexual abuse, war, terrorism, and more.
  
• Specific information for all age groups – infants, toddlers, children and adolescents.
  
• Specific detailed activities for parents to use to engage their children and to help calm their anxieties.
  
• Recommended books and resources on grief and trauma.
  
• Helpful links to other websites for specific information

While this is primarily a web-based service, parents and caregivers also have the option to contact our clinical consulting staff via email or our toll-free number. TLC staff members are available to help parents evaluate where a child stands on the continuum of grief and trauma; offer parents support and guidance; provide information for additional resources; and, if needed, refer parents to a TLC Certified Trauma and Loss Clinical Specialist in their area.
