You can still be someone that gets involved and uses, even if it's just your voice or your voice on paper, your voice out of your mouth.
How do we tackle the overwhelming issue of gun violence and mass shootings? In this compelling episode of 'Mental Health News Radio', host Amy C. O'Neill sits down with Jami Amo and Kristen Walker to explore this pressing topic. Jami, a survivor of the 1999 Columbine shooting, brings a raw and powerful perspective to the table. She’s deeply involved in victim and survivor support through The Rebels Project and Orange Wave for Gun Safety in Pennsylvania.
Kristen Walker, known for her advocacy in mental health, joins the conversation to shed light on the apathy and complacency surrounding gun violence from our government, media, and society at large. Together, they dive into the long-term impacts of trauma, the importance of being trauma-informed, and the critical need for mental health care in both preventive and reactive measures.
Amy, who has a rich background in mental health and resilience training, shares her insights on harnessing resilience to face and recover from tragedy. The discussion also touches on the silence and inaction from officials, and how these issues ripple through our communities, affecting everyone from students to healthcare workers. But it’s not all bleak; the episode offers a hopeful message. Jami encourages listeners to use their voices—whether spoken or written—to advocate for change.
This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of trauma competence in an age of mass violence.
