Details

Transform the initial exhibition into a permanent and “living” interactive online archive of trauma narratives for advocates, educators, and victims.

Begin a robust marketing and branding assessment/campaign to “centralize” existing Twin Cities’ resources (including advocacy groups working in the intersectional nexus of gun violence and trauma) to maximize the efforts of these organizations already working to end this tragedy of shattered lives.

Promote existing PTSD mental health tools to affected communities in Minneapolis via workshops and targeted marketing campaigns.

Provide robust art-based PTSD training to local educators.

We believe turning public and political attention to this issue provides three critical advantages: (1) raising awareness of the problem; (2) properly re-framing gun violence (and its aftermath) as a public health issue (and not simply a criminal justice issue); and (3) providing healing to individuals (and families) to prevent the “secondary” strain of violence that results from untreated/under-treated PTSD.
