Mental Health & Red Flags Laws with FL State Representative (D-95) & Former Parkland, FL Mayor, Christine Hunschofsky

Episode description

You’re going to want to sit down for this. No, seriously, this episode requires being seated. It’s powerful, it’s moving, and honestly much of this discussion had us all choked up. On this episode – one of our very first recorded in person – is a sit down with FL State Representative (D-95) & Former Parkland, FL Mayor, Christine Hunschofsky. This incredible leader walked us through what happened in Parkland, specifically the aftermath of the violent day that put the city on the national map. We discussed how towns and cities are or are not prepared for mass tragedies. We discussed the mental toll and impact on the communities in which these tragedies occur (a piece of the puzzle and mental health discussion that’s often omitted from the narrative around gun violence). We discuss Florida’s red flag law and its effectiveness. And, we also talk about leading with a humanity-first outlook. There’s a lot to unpack, and a lot to learn from this conversation.
