Mass shootings are an unthinkable tragedy, and yet they keep happening. Even when children are not directly involved, the emotional toll can ripple through schools, families, and communities. Repeated media exposure to violence can fuel anxiety, fear, and a loss of safety in children and adolescents.
Many young people quietly carry their fears and anxiety, and without support, the emotional weight can disrupt their daily lives and mental well-being.
Parents and caregivers aren’t immune to this stress. They may be struggling with how to process their own emotions while also trying to comfort and protect their children.
Open conversations, active listening, and access to supportive mental health care can help families navigate these moments together.
Watch our webinar to learn how to respond when these events happen and how to communicate with your children about what’s happening.
Fort Health is here to support both children and the adults who care for them with evidence-based, developmentally appropriate mental health care.
