      <image:title>About - Impact on society</image:title>
      <image:caption>According to the American Psychological Association, "the regularity of mass shootings is razing Americans’ mental health—heightening stress and dulling compassion in ways that demand broader concern, engagement and change. . . the ongoing backdrop of violence is steadily eroding the sense of wellbeing, safety and efficacy known to be essential for healthy development." “The more catastrophic events we’re exposed to as a nation, the more impacted we’re going to be on a psychological level.” -Jonathan S. Comer, Ph.D., a professor of psychology and psychiatry at Florida International University.</image:caption>
