SUMMARY:Community Connectedness: Healing the Hidden Wounds of Gun Violence
LOCATION:Online Event
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:June is Gun Violence Awareness Month. While I approach this month as a lice
 nsed therapist, I also approach it as a survivor. As a therapist, I underst
 and the theories of trauma, grief, resilience, and healing. Yet no amount o
 f education can fully separate me from the reality that gun violence has re
 peatedly touched my own life. These experiences have shaped how I navigate 
 the world, how I connect with others, and how I show up professionally.  <b
 r /><br />Gun violence leaves more than physical wounds. It leaves birthday
 s uncelebrated, graduations unattended, empty chairs at family gatherings, 
 and communities forever altered. It leaves survivors carrying memories, que
 stions, fears, and grief that often persist long after the headlines fade.<
 br /><br />For Gun Violence Awareness Month, we will honor those whose live
 s were taken too soon. as well as honor the survivors who carry the weight 
 of unimaginable loss. We will recognize the strength it takes to continue l
 iving, loving, and hoping in the aftermath of tragedy.<br /><br />Healing d
 oes not mean forgetting.  Healing means learning how to carry what cannot b
 e changed while continuing to move forward with purpose, connection, and ho
 pe.<br /><br />Community Connectedness: Healing the Hidden Wounds of Gun Vi
 olence will...<br />• Increase understanding of the psychological impact of
  gun violence, including traumatic grief<br />• Promote the importance of i
 mpact of Community Trauma and Community Connectedness <br />• Identify Risk
  and Protective Factors for Youth<br />• Outline Healing Strategies for Sur
 vivors and Communities <br /><br />Facilitator: Mimi Culpepper, QS, LMHC, C
