Free, online information for survivors

COEF extends our heartfelt condolences to everyone affected by the tragic mass killing at a home near Forest Grove in Oregon on Saturday. While the facts continue to emerge, our focus is on supporting those who have been affected. In the hours and days after a traumatic event, people often experience shock, confusion, fear, anger, sadness, or numbness. Children and teens often react differently than adults. If you, your family, or your community are struggling, Ceasefire Oregon Education Foundation’s free booklet, You Are Not Alone: Community Response & Support After Gun Violence, provides practical guidance on recognizing common reactions to trauma, supporting children and teens, talking honestly in age-appropriate ways, helping caregivers, and connecting with trusted resources—including Portland’s Dougy Center, one of the nation’s leading organizations supporting grieving children and families.
