NAMI is deeply saddened by the tragic school shooting that occurred yesterday in Parkland, Florida. These tragedies impact our communities–our parents, our children, our school professionals, our first responders—the mental health of our whole country. The details are still unfolding and there are still unanswered questions, but what we do know is that there were warning signs and that the shooter had received mental health treatment.
