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?
