As the we all know hurricane Sandy was devastating for so many individuals, but did any one think about how children are being affected in this aftermath. Something I found interesting on http://nbcdi.org was a an blog on helping African American families cope with crisis. The book is entitled Helping Children Cope with Crisis.
"Helping Children Cope with Crisis is an activity book for African American families that was developed by the National Black Child Development Institute (NBCDI) and the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), in collaboration with other organizations serving the African American community."
I find this information very helpful to families. Especially for African American families because we have a tendency to not address things and assume the children will be ok. Children are very resilient but having a resource like this can help them cope.

Hello! I like this website as well! I feel that it is very positive that they provided a feature for the parents pertaining to the children that were affected.
