This hub features youth-friendly formats like tip sheets, fact sheets, resource guides, and videos designed to help make sense of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors following trauma, fostering understanding and healing. Resources are available in multiple languages—including Russian translations of grief-related content from 2022—ensuring that support reaches diverse youth audiences.
Overall, this section offers empathetic, youth-centered tools that empower resilience, connection, and self-awareness in navigating trauma.
