Course Abstract
Mass Shootings: Applied Counseling Skills is a 3-hour online continuing education (CE) course that presents evidence-based strategies healthcare professionals can use to support communities following a mass shooting event.
This course will examine the initial effects of trauma following a mass shooting (including shock, disbelief, confusion, and uncertainty) and explore evidence-based strategies to help victims, families, and the community restore a sense of safety, stability, and calm.
It will address the longer lasting effects on victims, including feelings of anger, grief, sadness, and survivor’s guilt, and discuss strategies to develop coping skills and facilitate healing. We will then explore the ways in which such traumatic events cause one to ask critical questions and search for meaning. Skills for emphasizing self-efficacy, utilizing the positive effects of gratitude, and encouraging post traumatic growth will also be detailed.
Lastly, we will look at available resources on preparedness programs, crisis response training, and apps to help professionals and victims.
