Seasons Center for Behavioral Health will be hosting a free virtual training on how to approach the conversation about war with children. The training will be held on Tuesday, May 10 from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.
When conflict or war makes the headlines, it can cause feelings of fear, anger, sadness and anxiety. Children look to parents, caregivers and the adults in their lives for safety and security – even more so in times of crisis. This training will provide skills, strategies and tips on how to answer questions and talk about war with children.
Seasons Center’s Veterans Specialist, Nikki Orr, PsyD, will lead the training and provide insights on how to help kids navigate these uncertain times. Nikki is a combat veteran (Desert Storm, 2 tours in Iraq) who retired from the military in November 2019 after 30 years of service. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Psychology, with a specialization in Criminalistics and Justice Studies, and a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology. She has extensive experience working with veterans, military families, adolescents and children.
