Description

Following acts of mass violence clinicians are often left feeling powerless, anxious and looking for answers.

Why does this happen? Can I identify the warning signs and Intervene with those at-risk of committing violent acts? What can I do to help survivors facing the devastating scars of trauma, anxiety, panic depression and grief left behind by unspeakable violence?

A must-watch for mental health professionals working in an era of pervasive violence, this critical recording will explore the connection between mental health issues and violence, analyze research and research limitations surrounding its study, and contemplate the role of clinicians in both the prevention and aftermath of mass violence.
