Therapists Discuss Mass Shootings: Understanding Mental Health in Schools

I have a lot of hope that we have a lot more knowledge as a group of human beings about emotions and neurotransmitters, about different disorders and processes that go on.
Imagine turning on the news to yet another tragic school shooting. It’s a scenario that has become all too common, leaving us grappling with the 'why' behind these events. In this episode of 'Through a Therapist's Eyes', therapists Neil Sattin and Casey Palazzo tackle this heavy topic with empathy and insight. What starts as a discussion about a recent school shooting quickly evolves into a broader conversation about mental health and its role in such tragedies.
Neil and Casey explore what kids experience daily, the silent struggles they might face, and how peers can be more aware of each other’s emotional battles. They also delve into the responsibilities of school systems and the crucial role adults play in guiding children towards better mental health. The episode doesn’t just dwell on the problems; it offers practical solutions and highlights the importance of a supportive environment.
As one therapist notes, 'We have so much more knowledge now about emotions and mental health than ever before'. This isn’t a fear-mongering session but rather a hopeful dialogue aimed at fostering understanding and proactive support. If you're a parent, teacher, or just someone who cares about mental health, this episode provides valuable insights into creating safer, more supportive environments for our children.
