We want to take a moment and share some helpful tips from UNICEF about talking to kids about difficult things they may be seeing in the news and online.

It may be especially difficult to navigate news for families with loved ones from and/or living in affected areas and for those who have family members who are deployed.

Alaska Children's Trust has information for talking to kids about being safe online.

Alaska Institute for Justice provides information on rights and options for immigrants.

JBER Military & Family Readiness Center - Army Community Service has resources and support services available for military families.
