The Uvalde, Texas, community is still reeling two weeks after a gunman opened fire at Robb Elementary School, killing 19 students and two teachers. Those suffering include young survivors who witnessed the horror
Funerals began Monday for some of the victims in the Uvalde, Texas school massacre. They'll be taking place almost every single day for the next two and a half weeks.
Mental health experts said a range of support will be needed for the survivors, beginning with what is known as"psychological first aid" in the immediate aftermath to counseling sessions to address trauma symptoms that can last for months and even years. The ability of the community to come together to heal will also be crucial, with parents playing an important role in discussing emotions with their children.
