Dr. Colleen Lelli: The trauma children absorb after school shootings, how to help

19 children and 2 adults were shot and killed in a horrendous school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. It is horrific. It is senseless. It is the most recent in a long list of school shootings in America. This country continues to accept that this just happens here. And as a result, we have young children trying to process fears and problems that adults can’t or won’t address. How can we help our children and young people we love deal with what happened in Texas? How do kids process this kind of trauma? And how do we fight the hopelessness that comes after decades of hundreds and hundreds of murders in schools? Today's episode is a conversation with Dr. Colleen Lelli, Director of the Barbara and John Jordan Center for Children of Trauma and Domestic Violence Education and an education professor at Cabrini University.
