Impact of Mass Shootings on Youth

Firearms have become the leading cause of death for US children and teens, and disproportionately impact people of color. The impact of gun violence extends far beyond immediate deaths and injuries, with childhood exposure contributing to mental health challenges, and increasing the risk of adult involvement in gun violence.

In this Joyce Foundation webinar, panelists will discuss new findings that explore the psychological impact of mass shootings on youth and the impact of anonymous reporting systems on school gun violence prevention.

Speakers:

• Alexandria French, Director, Research & Evaluation, Sandy Hook Promise
• Dr. Elyse Thulin, Research Assistant Professor, Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention, University of Michigan
• Kirsty Weitzel, Research Data Scientist, RTI International
