39. Mass shootings

Mass Shootings are, for the most part, an American phenomenon. Why? Since 2014, mass shootings in the United States have increased 157%. Many groups are advocating for change, which we can all agree is necessary. Identifying the root cause is where we have a lot of debate and are often left asking more questions.

On today’s podcast we discuss the role of mental health in mass shootings.
