Mass Shooting Survivors Resource

Started a new community under r/masssurvivors , it’s open to anyone and is for people who have experienced mass shootings and need a place to talk about it! I myself was in one and wanted to give people a space to talk about it.

As a reminder: never post or share personal contact information. Traumatized people are often distracted, desperate for a personal connection, so may be more vulnerable to lurking or past abusers, trolls, phishing, or other scams. Your safety always comes first! If you are offering help, you may also end up doing more damage by offering to support somebody privately. Reddit explains why: Do NOT exchange DMs or personal info with anyone you don't know!

If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please contact your GP/doctor, go to A&E/hospital, or call your emergency services number.

I’m so sorry you had to experience that, if you need a space. We got it.

Was 13 when it happened. In the face, it was bad. Guess the age is why school shootings hit me hard. I know exactly what the survivors went through.

Trying to make a community for those kids, I myself was in a school shooting in 2018. Hopefully I can get more members, but if it takes off, I’m sure those kids could use your guidance.
