Coping with Stress after a Major Incident Information

Please find attached guidance from NHS Scotland to support individuals who have been involved in or affected by a traumatic incident.
 
There are two leaflets, the first is aimed at adults and provides information on how people may feel in the days and months ahead, and helps to understand and have more control of their experience.
The second leaflet set out additional information to assist people in supporting children who may be struggling with the impact of such an event.

Selfie Cop

Selfie Cop is an app that can be installed on the phones/tablets of children (targeted at 8-13 year olds) and their parents to help children learn to think more about images they share.  Every time the camera is activated on the phone/tablet, SelfieCop pops up and asks the child if they are sure about sharing this image – the image will also be available for the parent carer to view.  The app is installed with the child’s awareness and permission – it’s not about spying on their activity, it’s about trying to instill good habits around thinking twice before sharing images.
