When gun violence occurs in a community, children are often witnesses to the event and its aftermath. The impact of gun violence exposure is associated with learning, health, emotional and behavioral issues immediately following the event and also later in life. Early intervention and emotional and social support are key in preventing and healing symptoms of trauma.

Once you're connected to the effect of just one bullet, you're never the same.
