Community Trauma
摘要
There is wide recognition that the trauma suffered from gun violence is a subject that needs wider attention. Trauma is a complex construct that has saliency across helping professions and, as a result, has seen its share of research, scholarship, and training. Its importance is obvious when discussing gun violence. Readers will never have any difficulty in finding reading material, workshops, and lectures on this topic. Gun violence, however, brings added dimensions and challenges. This is particularly the case when addressing community trauma and how neighborhoods are suffering. Readers, for example, will not have any trouble finding workshops and lectures on community trauma. However, they would be challenged in finding a workshop on community trauma. Nevertheless, gun violence impacts victims, their loved ones, social circles, and their neighborhoods.
