While the physical cleanup effort now taking place in Moore will require time to accomplish, mental and emotional rebuilding will have to happen as well.  OU Medicine hosted a webcast on Friday, May 24, at 10 a.m. CST titled, “Families Dealing with Kids and Trauma.” The webcast featured Stephen R. Gillaspy, Ph.D, a pediatric psychologist at the Children’s Hospital. He discussed how parents can help their children cope with traumatic events and answered questions relating to the topic. To watch the video and access resources relating to storms, how teachers can help students who've been through tornadoes, and other helpful information, visit www.oumedicine.com/chat.
