The news has been inescapable: 22 people shot and killed in El Paso, Texas on Saturday. Hours later, another mass shooting left nine dead in Dayton, Ohio. Dozens more were wounded. And even more were killed in deadly shootings in Houstonand Chicago over the weekend. How do take steps toward healing after such horrific mass shootings?
First, we'll hear from Rep. Peter Welch about what Congress can do to address mass shootings.
Then we'll have a roundtable discussion about making sense of tragedy and taking steps toward healing with:
- Dr. Rebecca Bell, a pediatric critical care physician at the University of Vermont Medical Center and an assistant professor of pediatrics at UVM’s Larner College of Medicine.
- Charlotte McCorkel, senior director of client services at Howard Center focused on crisis stabilization and intake programs and the interaction of mental health and public health.
- Patsy Fortney, a non-denominational hospital chaplain at the Central Vermont Medical Center.
