As of May 2022, 231 mass shootings have occurred in the United States, resulting in 256 deaths and 1,006 injuries (Gun Violence Archive [GVA], 2022). The increasing prevalence of mass shootings and media coverage may prompt many individuals to experience increased anxiety or fear in public settings.
Domestic violence is prevalent in many communities and affects all people regardless of age, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality.
In the case of Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, there are many allegations of physical and verbal abuse.
Experiencing childhood abuse or neglect is traumatic, and influences the individual’s health, relationships, brain development, and often leads to death.
Connection with another person is something everyone strives for when looking for love. What people don’t strive for is the potential violence that comes with it.
In the past, there have been many cases where law enforcement failed to respond carefully and compassionately to mental health incidents. Some ended fatally when police didn’t recognize the symptoms of mental health episodes.
