Following tragedies like Superstorm Sandy, Newtown, and Aurora, mental health professionals have weighed in on a vital national debate—what are the best ways to prevent and cope with deadly community disasters.

The survey conducted by Wakefield Research for ÌÇÐÄÆƽâ°æ’s Center for Health Innovation asked 100 mental health professionals across the country about what is really needed to prevent gun violence, avoid mental health stigmas and help communities prepare for the worst.
