Hear Drs. Patricia Crain de Galarce, Neena McConnico, and Anthony Rao—specialists in child behavior, trauma, and exposure to violence—discuss how to answer children’s questions about gun violence and manage personal fears while trying to keep them safe.

Dr. Neena McConnico is the Director of Boston Medical Center’s Child Witness to Violence Project.

Dr. Patricia Crain de Galarce is the Director of Lesley University’s Center for Inclusive and Special Education, overseeing the Lesley Institute for Trauma Sensitivity.
