We extend our deepest condolences to the families, friends, and all those connected to Kenwood Middle School during this incredibly difficult time. Our hearts are with every parent, student, educator, and community member impacted by this tragedy.
As our community processes the loss, injuries, and emotional trauma, we recognize that moments like these affect not only those directly involved but also ripple throughout families, neighborhoods, and friendships.
If you or someone you know needs support:
1. In a mental health emergency, please call or text 988 for immediate support and crisis intervention.
2. Be present and available. Children and teens process grief differently; some may want to talk, while others may withdraw. Simply being nearby, offering comfort, and creating a safe space to listen can make a meaningful difference.
3. Encourage connection and support. Reach out to friends, neighbors, and other families; no one should feel alone.
4. Seek professional guidance if needed. Pediatricians, counselors, and licensed mental health professionals can help children and families navigate through grief and trauma.
We are here to care for your family’s medical needs and to help point you toward appropriate resources.
