When Innocence is Lost: How Children Cope with TragedyImages and talk of violence affect our everyday lives, causing a lot of anxiety. However, these incidents are especially confusing and overwhelming for children. Although age plays a part in determining when a child can understand stressful events, there are steps you can take to reassure your children and make them feel comforted and safe. The recent shootings in Arizona and the earthquake in Haiti certainly present a challenge, as natural disasters and senseless violence can be hard to deal with for people of any age. “When talking to your child about an emotional loss, scary events in their lives or tragedy in the news, you must take their age, maturity level and overall temperament into consideration,” said Tim Derstine, MD, psychiatrist and Medical Director of the Behavioral Health Unit at Mount Nittany Medical Center. “What one child might be able to cope with could be very distressing to another child.” Shimmel Joins Mount Nittany Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery Practice

In her new blog post, Shimmel identifies the right and wrong reasons for considering the procedure. She writes that liposuction "is a procedure that is a great option for many people," but there are things to consider. Find out more at blog.mountnittany.org/cosmetic. Support Program For Children Scheduled for AprilThe Cancer Program at Mount Nittany Medical Center and Tides are collaborating to bring a new support program for children who have a loved one with cancer to the Centre region. CLIMB, an acronym for Children’s Lives Include Moments of Bravery, is a national cancer support program for children. The mission of CLIMB is to ensure that all children who have a parent or loved one recently diagnosed with cancer are given the early tools and emotional support to cope. Through education, children will gain a better understanding of cancer and the various forms of treatment. Through support, children will be provided a safe place to express fears, anxiety, and other emotions they may be experiencing. Calendar of Healthy Events
