Abstract

Some families are refugees in their own state or country. Although they may have escaped the worst of the destruction, they are dealing with major losses in their lives. They may have lost their homes and other belongings. They certainly have lost their familiar routine and surroundings. Children may not be attending school, or they may be attending a new school—an event for which they had no preparation. The whole family, including adults, may feel traumatized and be struggling. Parents may feel guilty because they can’t provide everything their child needs. If you and your family are in such a situation, the following tips might be helpful.
