“A public health approach to gun violence is much more sensible and much more likely to be effective than any other current format within our traditional structures.” Today is National Gun Violence Awareness Day. In a new episode of Shared Humanity: The humans behind the headlines, thisgrievinglife is joined by Dr. Bruce Perry, MD, PhD, Principal of the Neurosequential Network. Dr. Perry’s most recent book, What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey, has been on the New York Times Bestseller list for over 100 weeks. He is also a primary responder to many communities that have been impacted by gun violence. Márquez-Greene and Perry discuss shifting mental health work to a public health model, the impact of early childhood experience on long-term wellness, and healing trauma.
