The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN)

This website offers resources about identifying different types of child trauma, signs of exposure, and the effects of trauma on children. Resources are available for specific audiences including professionals, family and caregivers, school personnel, and policymakers. The site includes resources for addressing traumatic grief (i.e., the sudden death or loss of a loved one). NCTSN recently produced a resource guide for school administrators and staff (A Trauma-Informed Resource for Strengthening Family-School Partnerships). Some resources are available in Spanish.
