Common Expected Experiences of Children after a Traumatic Event

📣This message is shared through UNHCR’s WhatsApp communication📣

When exposed to a traumatic event and during times of instability, children may exhibit signs of stress that are important to recognize. These are some signs that parents and caregivers should pay attention to.

Let your child know it is okay to feel scared, confused, or sad about events they are witnessing. Offer empathy and understanding.

Remember: You are not alone. UNHCR and partners are here to support you and your family through available services during these tough times. Find information on services on HELP Lebanon: help.unhcr.org/Lebanon
