During any traumatic time in life, Dr. Elena Lister encourages everyone to be open, honest and share their experience with trusted loved ones in order to ease their pain. This is especially true with children, who are instinctively very perceptive of and continually seeking guidance from their role models. The best way to arm the youth for the future is to face the tough stuff by having real conversations and courageously learning to heal together as a community.
