Resources for dealing with tragedy (#newtown)

[Nov. 22, 2015: I've just checked all of the links in the post and updated any that no longer worked. Why? Given recent events, I want to be able to circulate this post again.]

Given the tragedy that occurred this morning in Newtown, Connecticut, where someone with a gun entered an elementary school can killed several people, I have pulled together these resources for dealing with tragedy.
For more information on today's tragedy, please consult your local or national news (U.S.).

@acarvin has suggested this resource from the Dart Center for Journalism & Trauma of wellness resources for journalists covering traumatic events like #newtown. There is also an excellent list of resources on the site on covering such tragic events.

Thanks to Sylvie M-R for pointing me toward this page of resources from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network.
