Abstract

This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the diverse consequences of gun violence within educational institutions, with a particular emphasis on the psychological distress endured by both students and communities. This study examines the emotional, psychological, and social ramifications, emphasizing coping mechanisms, strategies for developing resilience, and community healing initiatives. The critical nature of gun violence as a public health crisis is highlighted by the imperative for policymakers, educators, and community leaders to prioritize trauma-informed approaches. Through the promotion of policy reforms and the adoption of trauma-sensitive methodologies, it is possible to foster the development of secure and resilient communities that promote the recovery and flourishing of individuals.
