In the wake of recent mass shootings, a group of North Texas organizations is working to find pathways to interrupt mass violence.
Scenes of mass violence,, are becoming too common for Virginia Hoft, the executive director of Mental Health Connection of Tarrant County.
"This is an epidemic right now," she said."If we just continue to go, ‘oh there is another one and there's another one’, and not really dig in deeper about what's really going on, then this will be America. It's not OK for this to be America for me."She's organizing a conference March 1 called Interrupting the Pathways to Mass Violence.
The authors of the book,"The Violence Project, How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic," will present key findings about how to spot warning signs. Those could include childhood trauma, depression or suicidal thoughts. "So, there is no one profile for a mass shooter,” Hoft said. “There are multiple pathways that this happens. But also, it gives us a lot of opportunities along the way to interrupt that.”
