When our community or country faces violence or tragedy, we experience collective trauma.

These events shake our sense of safety. Processing these emotions isn’t a linear path, and it won’t look the same for you as it does for your neighbor.

Be gentle with yourself today. Your mental health is a priority, not an afterthought. 💙

If you or someone you know needs to talk to someone right now, you can contact the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741-741.

You can also text, call, or chat 988 for a free confidential conversation with a trained counselor 24/7.
