For Children & Teens Who Survived the Texas Hill Country Floods
Surviving something scary like a flood can leave behind so many feelings — all at once. It’s okay to feel confused, sad, angry, grateful, or even nothing at all. All your feelings are valid. ❤️
Here are some gentle reminders for trusted adults supporting children & teens:
Normalize emotions – It’s okay to feel lots of different things quickly. You are not wrong or broken.
Use books (bibliotherapy) & stories – Sometimes a character’s story makes it easier to talk about our own.
Reframe responsibility – If your brain is wondering if this was your fault, it wasn’t. Magical thinking is normal after trauma.
Create a ritual – Lighting a candle, making a bracelet, or writing a letter can help your heart express what words cannot.
Build a coping narrative – You were scared AND brave. You acted fast AND helped keep yourself safe. Your story matters.
Most of all, you are not alone. Caring adults are here to answer your questions, support your healing, and help you feel safe again — one step at a time.

Supporting Children & Teens After the Texas Hill Country Floods

In the wake of the devastating floods across the Texas Hill Country, many children and adolescents are navigating grief, confusion, and fear. At Resilient Minds Counseling, we recognize the emotional impact natural disasters can have on young minds.

We’ve created tools to help caregivers, educators, and community members:
- Share difficult information in age-appropriate ways
- Offer comforting routines and regulation strategies
- Respond to tough questions with honesty and empathy
- Help children feel safe, supported, and heard

Children process grief differently than adults. They may ask the same questions repeatedly, act out during play, or struggle with sleep and emotions. Your consistent presence, honesty, and validation matter.

Glue guns, glass globes, and hundreds of tiny, thoughtful trinkets—oh my! What a meaningful way to kick off the 28th Annual Children’s Grief Symposium. I was honored to co-facilitate with Meredith Hammond for the Creative Arts Intensive alongside Meredith Hammond, where 70 professionals crafted their own contained memory gardens—rooted in play therapy principles and rich with personal reflection.

Deep gratitude to the Rea Charitable Trust Foundation and the National Alliance for Children’s Grief for supporting this experience and for believing in the power of creativity in grief work.

Drum your feelings…
Drum your memories…
Drum to drum!
Feel the vibrations…
Say their name & drum, drum, drum!

Thank you for such incredible drums that connected so many hearts this weekend. Thank you for hosting all 10 drums, and holding space within the communities. Thank you for giving a space for the bereaved to explore their emotions because you allowed me to check them from Denver to Boston.

Thank you, , for the privilege of co-facilitating your 2025 Spring (April Showers) Volunteer Facilitator Training!

Because your organization dares to start the conversation, we walked in on Saturday as strangers—or with just a thread of connection—and left with something far deeper. The weekend was filled with brave vulnerability, intentional movement, shared vibrations, creative expression, and above all, compassion.

Grateful to witness the power of showing up, speaking truth, and creating space for others to do the same—including laughter, as captured perfectly in our Day 2 highlight slide.
