When terrible things happen, like last night's incident at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, it can have a huge lasting impact on how we feel, even if we are not involved directly. 
Some common reactions are to feel angry, fearful, anxious or stressed. Others might feel extremely sad or hopeless.
If you have existing mental health problems, events like these could trigger them or make them harder to deal with.
This guidance is aimed at anyone exposed to the incident at Manchester Arena that took place on 22 May 2017. The emotional effects will be felt by survivors, bereaved families, friends, emergency services, health care workers and the general public. If you witnessed or lost someone in the attack you will most certainly have a strong reaction. Reactions are likely to be strongest in those closest to the incident, who directly witnessed the aftermath and who were involved in the immediate care of victims.
This information has been provided by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) 
Following the tragic incident at the MEN Arena on the 22 May, we recognise that many children and young people and parents/carers supporting children and young people will be shocked and saddened by what took place. Children and young people in particular may have questions and it can be difficult to know what to say.
Dear All,
Our thoughts today, following the horrendous incident at the Manchester Arena last night, are with those who were caught up in the attack, especially those killed and injured and their families. Such acts of indiscriminate terror have no part in our society and we stand together with all who long for a world in which violence and terror does not have the last word.
As faith and interfaith groups in Manchester, we reaffirm our commitment to working together to increase understanding and respect between all people.
We have pulled together a range of information collected so far about the additional support local charities & community organisations are offering in the aftermath of the events.
