Nonfiction Author Series: Nancy Kislin

Nancy Kislin, a psychotherapist and licensed social worker, will discuss her book LOCKDOWN: Talking to Your Kids About School Violence.  LOCKDOWN offers professional insight and therapeutic guidance to help parents, teachers, school administrators and social service professionals nurture and heal children in this era of school shootings.  The book features scores of interviews with children and their parents, including those present during the 2018 tragic event at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida.  It offers important context and professional therapeutic strategies for dealing with the trauma that comes from lockdowns, active shooter drills, and the horrific events that occur all too frequently in our country today.
