It's happened again. Another school shooting. A terrible, unnecessary constant in American life. But it doesn't have to be this way. This episode takes a hard, solutions-focused look at school shooting prevention through conversations with leaders from Sandy Hook Promise, one of the nation’s leading violence prevention organizations. In the wake of gun violence across the U.S., we move beyond headlines to examine what actually works to stop violence before it happens: by identifying warning signs, building safer school communities, and intervening early.

I'm joined by Liz Murphy, Senior Vice President of Federal Policy & Partnerships and Patrick Malone, Senior Director of Federal Policy from Sandy Hook Promise to explain how prevention, including evidence-based programs that help students and adults recognize concerning behaviors, address social isolation, and take threats seriously without stigmatizing mental health, can be the change to the norm of school shootings in America.
