Parents across the United States are struggling with the question, "How do we help our kids feel safe when we worry we are living in an increasingly unsafe world?" It's a hard and sad question; one that many Americans have never had to face. In this episode, recorded one day after a mass shooting in Charlottesville, VA, we will discuss:

• Why is it so important for our kids to feel safe?
• What do we say to help them feel safe?
• How can they help themselves feel more safe?
• How can we turn our fear into action, at all ages?
• How do we continue to stay engaged in action to help people across all communities?

Our hearts go out to the families of Devin Chandler, D'Sean Perry, and Lavel Davis. We are devastated for you.
