The Role of Connection in Preventing School Shootings and Addiction
Some of the less cohort that I've worked with in the past of youth are people who I see are in danger of just falling into some sort of like nihilistic state, whether that means totally avoiding the world or whether that means contemplating doing something to themselves.

In this gripping episode of the LPP Podcast, hosts Zach Rhoads and Dr. Stanton Peele dive into the profiles of school shooters and reveal a startling commonality: a profound lack of connection. They discuss how this disconnection is not just a factor in youth violence but also in addiction problems among both young and older individuals.
Zach shares his firsthand experiences working with at-risk kids, shedding light on how even minimal efforts to connect can make a significant difference. The episode also touches on the controversial topic of gun control and its effectiveness in preventing such tragedies. With a blend of personal anecdotes and professional insights, this episode offers practical advice on how fostering connections can help prevent both addiction and school shootings.
