My heart goes out to the school personnel in Florida dealing with the aftermath of another violent and deadly act on school grounds. I am sure it is also a trigger for those folks that have survived previous similar incidents. As school counselors we want to help students feel safe at school. This is becoming more difficult in our country. The incident yesterday popped up on the cell phones of our upper elementary age children. With technology so widespread more and more young people are being exposed to graphic coverage filmed by people in the building during these attacks. The only thing I can think to say is to my students is that is why we have drills that save may lives and we have well trained first responders. Is it any wonder anxiety rates are rising among our population!
