Here we go again in America...
Another mass shooting, among far too many, this time in Highland Park, Illinois on July 4th during a small-town parade. A 21-year-old, white, male took to the roof of a building along the parade route and opened fire with a high-powered, assault weapon sending a barrage of 70+ bullets into families, children, parents, teens, and grandparents awaiting the traditional celebratory 4th of July gathering.
Children witnessed the horrific death of people from their town. Badly damaged bodies from high-caliber weapons of war littered their streets. They ran. They left everything behind. They saw fear and panic all around them. Not knowing where to run to, they took shelter in stores, alleyways, and even in dumpsters trying to avoid being shot—trauma at its worst with no answers. Parents are not prepared for this level of disaster counseling for their children then or in the many days ahead. Parents and everyone else are experiencing some level of traumatic stress. Children and teens will have lots of needs and questions. This podcast offers some very practical advice and guidance for the days ahead. Consider The National Child Traumatic Stress Network as an additional resource. Additionally, ask your community to bring in The Episodes Project for on-site training and coaching to help recognize the warning signs of a troubled individual. Be well. Be safe. Be proactive. Thank you.
