Processing Grief and Fear After the Chiefs Rally Shooting

Joy and celebration at Kansas City's Super Bowl Champions Celebration Rally on Feb. 14, 2024, turned to horror as shots were fired at the conclusion of the rally at Union Station. One mom lost her life and as many as 23 people were injured including nine children. We are talking with anxiety therapist, Lindsey Murray, on how to address some of our kids' (and our own) big questions like "am I safe?", "Will I be ever be safe in big crowds?" and "I feel scared. What do I do next?"

We hope this conversation gives you ideas on how to talk with your family and process your own grief. If you need extra support, please reach out to the many mental health resources in our area read to care for you.
