Highland Park shows resilience one year after mass shooting
For survivors of last year's deadly mass shooting at the July 4th parade in Highland Park, the pain was not just physical, and once again this community has shown its strength and resilience to help survivors move forward.
"It is a huge collaborative effort," Zarovsky said."We are here to support, and we're also here to help with the investigative process." At Highland Park High School, victims could connect with crisis counselors and mental health resources, get help from the American Red Cross, and be reunited with lost property. It was a safe space for law enforcement interviews with the youngest victims.
"It's available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year," said Gail Graves, vice president of community impact with United Way of Lake County.:"What were some of the biggest needs that you were finding when these victims – in this unspeakable moment – are saying 'I need help'?":"Absolutely, mental health services was the biggest, number one.
By design, the family assistance center at Highland Park High School closed two weeks after the shooting, but the help hasn't stopped, and people are still reaching out.
