Root Causes - Practical Safety - Mental Health

In this episode, Andrew and I sit down with JB, a school counselor who brings a unique perspective on gun violence in schools. We dive into real, practical solutions to mitigate school shootings without relying on legislation.

We explore threat assessment programs, social-emotional learning (SEL), and the broader role of community support. JB shares insights on the importance of mental health resources, anti-bullying initiatives, and peer-to-peer mentoring in creating safer school environments. We also touch on how political discourse shapes the conversation, the role of individualism in the gun community, and why open communication across differing viewpoints is so crucial.

By the end of the episode, we offer actionable advice for parents, educators, and community members on how to foster supportive environments that prioritize student safety and well-being.
