SAN ANTONIO – Mass school shootings as well as learning about a planned school attack can trigger stress and fear for many who may work or attend schools in South Central Texas.
San Antonio Behavioral Healthcare Hospital CEO Camillia McKinney said some of those stress and fear triggers may include:
-butterflies in your stomach
-feeling your stomach drop
-headaches
-feeling moody or irritable
“Here at SABH, it takes a village, right?” McKinney said. “It takes a village. That doesn’t just mean for children; that means for all of us. We’d like to look at ourselves as community partners. We want to make sure that we’re doing our part to support the community and be a part of that village.”
