1. Sesame Street's Hurricane Kit. This kit provides an hour long
video about Big Bird loosing his home after a hurricane. I
showed this video to a group of 5th graders and they really
connected with it. After the video use follow up questions to
foster a discussion. 2. The National Child Traumatic Stress
Network puts out an After the Hurricane: Helping Young Children
Heal handout for parents and teachers. I really like this
because it is brief and to the point. This is great to send home
to families and also place on the parent bulletin board. 3. Also
from The National Child Traumatic Stress Network the Teacher
Guidelines for Helping Students after a Hurricane is a great
handout to give teachers or other staff members in your
building. 4."After the Storm" is by far my favorite resource
that I have come across yet. It is filled with worksheets,
activities, and discussion starters to use with young children
and is easily adaptable to use with teens. I have shared this
with parents, teachers, and used their work
