Keeping our children safe and protecting their emotional well-being has become Job #1 for caregivers and other adults in a young child’s life.  Media outlets remind us routinely about school shootings, violent crime, military conflicts, and even catastrophic natural disasters. If not through direct exposure and the ensuing psychological trauma it can cause, we face the challenge of secondary or vicarious exposure which can be equally as compromising.

So what are the more important nuggets of information you may glean as an enthusiast of this website and reasons to routinely stay connected?  A great question.  Simply stated, it is my goal to offer young parents resource information and guidance on timely subjects pertaining to gun violence in our schools and social violence, more generally. The site’s Blog will cover a wide range of topics on communicating with your child about school violence, developing realistic collaborations with their school, and inspiring greater advocacy relative to gun reform legislation.  There will be other complementary topics routinely offered too. It will share information which will add to your own level of understanding and awareness on a subject that was unthinkable thirty years previous.
