Peter Naylor, seasoned media executive on the impact of streaming television and the superior experience it provides. The former global Vice President at Netflix argues that Sports streaming will explode our expectations of the viewing experience as Netflix and others begin to leverage the advertising potential of what was the last bastion of traditional media. And through his involvement with Sandy Hook Promise, a nonprofit focused on gun violence prevention, he reminds us of the power and responsibility of media influence as it expands exponentially, particularly on children. *This episode was recorded on December 11, 2024.

In the podcast episode of Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott discusses the systemic failures and challenges in addressing school shooting threats, focusing on a recent case where law enforcement and schools did little to prevent a potentially dangerous situation. Scott highlights the troubling relationship between gun culture and inadequate interventions in the U.S., particularly in cases where parents are negligent, allowing children access to firearms. The conversation examines how disturbed kids are often drawn to semi-automatic rifles, developing a twisted sense of power and importance. Scott stresses the need for more effective crisis intervention teams, mental health professionals, and anonymous tip lines to prevent these tragedies. She also addresses the lack of transparency in how schools handle threats and argues that parents should be made more aware of potential dangers to make informed decisions about their children's safety. Programs such as those from Sandy Hook Promise and the Violence Project are available, but many communities fail to implement them, largely due to political resistance. - Law enforcement and schools often fail to adequately address threats, leading to preventable school shootings. - Disturbed kids are drawn to semi-automatic weapons, seeing them as a way to feel powerful and important. - Effective crisis intervention teams and anonymous tip lines are needed to prevent school shootings, but many communities don't implement them. - Parents should be more involved and informed when threats are made in schools to ensure their children's safety. - Programs like Sandy Hook Promise and the Violence Project offer training and resources to prevent school shootings but are underutilized. #SchoolShootings #GunCulture #CrisisIntervention #SandyHookPromise #ViolenceProject #ShavaunScott #HiddenKillers Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

More than 200 Americans visit the emergency department for nonfatal firearm injuries each day. That now includesformer president Donald Trump who was shot in his right ear at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend and brought to the hospital. Today, we talk about gun violence as a public health crisis. The U.S. Surgeon General recently published a health advisory on the far-reaching consequences of firearm violence. The divide on how to respond to gun violence is deeply polarizing. But seeing it through a public lens perspective could change the conversation. And it can also bring new solutions. Surviving parents of gun violence victims join us and we also hear from James Dodington, Medical Director at the Center for Injury and Violence Prevention at Yale New Haven Health. Mark Barden is the co-founder of Sandy Hook Promise. He lost his son Daniel in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. We hear from him. Reverend Sam Saylor lost his son Shane Oliver to gun violence in October 2012.In April 2023, Shane's daughter and Reverend Saylor's granddaughter Sec'ret Pierce was killed by a drive-by shooting in Hartford. She was only 12 years old. He joins us as well.

Some topics are so heavy they are difficult to discuss, but gun violence has become such a problem in America that it is vitally important for us to talk about it in order to bring change. In this special episode of Talk About It, Greg is joined in studio by some great new friends -- Mark Barden, founder of Sandy Hook Promise and co-founder of Artist for Action, and Matthew Reich and Neal Saini, co-founders of Artist for Action. Mark Barden experienced the unimaginable when his 7-year-old son Daniel was killed in the Sandy Hook massacre of 2012, an event that sent shockwaves throughout the country. Mark and his family continue to go through periodic episodes of depression, anger, hopelessness, and warding off bad actors who spread conspiracies. However, he has harnessed those emotions to start Sandy Hook Promise (SandyHookPromise.org) that works to educate communities and school districts about gun violence and notify law enforcement through a tip line when a student or school is in danger. The work he is doing is literally saving lives. Mark also co-founded Arist for Action with Matthew and Neil, an organization that platforms causes for artists to easily promote to fans. Together, they put on major events to promote gun reform and are producing a documentary feature with major musical stars attached. This episode is heavy, but this is a conversation that needs to be had.  The Talk About It podcast is sponsored by Seizures Are Signs — dedicated to educating families on the importance of early and specific diagnosis by providing an assessment to help get the conversation started, educational information, stories from families who have found a diagnosis, links to advocacy groups, and more.

And how can we prevent violence in schools?  In this episode, Nicole Hockley, CEO of Sandy Hook Promise, joins Kevin to discuss how we can prevent violence in schools.  Meet Nicole Nicole Hockley is the co-founder and CEO of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation.  After her youngest son, Dylan, was murdered during the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy, Nicole transformed her grief into action.

Historian Kevin Impellizeri shares a story of a video game controversy to his friends: Kate Lynch and Andy Hunter. We continue our deep-dive into self-proclaimed "killologist" Dave Grossman seeing how he became a media-anointed expert on video game violence in the wake of a school shooting in his home town, and how Dave managed to insert himself into future violent video game conversations in the wake of mass shootings.  Topics discussed include: Did a school shooter go from average teen to deadly marksman by playing too much DOOM? Andy tests Kevin and Kate's ability to distinguish between Pokémon and prescription medication, we show some love for mid-level evolution Pokémon, and we examine how we might all be to blame for Dave Grossman.

The mass shooting at Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee brought the school shooting count to 89 for the year in the U.S alone. Guns are now the leading cause of deaths in children and teens. As a parent who speaks to an audience of parents, this is horrifying. We simply must find ways to curtail these acts of gun violence before they happen. Why? So we're not just left cleaning up the aftermath, putting traumatized children through therapy and counting our dead. That's why I invited Dawn Lyons to join me for this episode. Dawn is a former colleague and also a  Brilliant Balance alum. She's now the COO of Sandy Hook Promise, an organization dedicated to preventing gun violence in schools, homes, and communities. In this episode, you'll learn how to spot patterns of behavior that can precede violence so you know how to proactively deal with it. If you've found yourself wanting to DO something when you watch these stories unfold, listen in. Show Highlights Include: The tragedy that led to building Sandy Hook Promise (and how they're making sure you don't experience the heartbreak and pain they did). (5:00) Why the weakened general mental health in teens and kids since 2020 along with the rise in gun purchases in the U.S should not be taken lightly. (9:35) The critical behavioral warning signs of impending gun violence (this will help you recognize and stop imminent threats) (18:40) Why you should curb violent language in children as early and frequently as possible. (20:44) Specific actions you can take in your own home and community to dampen the spread of gun violence. (23:42) Interested in coaching with Brilliant Balance?

Say Something ProgramIn 2019, The Classical Academies and neighboring school districts adopted the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System (SS-ARS) as a part of a community-wide initiative to prevent school violence. This program teaches students and team members to recognize and report warning signs and threats from individuals who may be dangerous to themselves or others. The Classical Academies' Safety and Security Director, Jared Baez, discusses how the program seeks to prevent violent acts and how it is changing school culture as it empowers students to report concerning behavior to a trusted adult. Anonymous reporting through SS-ARS is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, via the app, hotline, or website.Sandy Hook Promise: https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/our-programs/say-something/Annonymous Tip Line: https://www.p3campus.com/tipform.aspx?ID=3000&HF=1&Logo=0&X=1&H=0

**Content warning – this episode contains difficult subject matter. We advise you listen with caution, knowing topics of child suicide, trauma, grief and mass shootings are discussed.  Suzy DeYoung didn't plan on devoting her life to the subject of trauma, however an accident involving her child led her down a path exploring some of the most difficult subjects imaginable. For more than a decade, she has studied and educated others as a trauma-informed parent. She was also one of the founding members of Sandy Hook Promise, which began after the horrific school shooting that occurred in her hometown of Newtown, CT. Most recently, she has conducted research on behalf of author Andrew Solomon, Ph.D., where she has interviewed dozens of families and experts impacted by child suicide. This discussion is enlightening, challenging and important, though it may be triggering for some.  We also want to hear from you. Please take our brief survey to let us know how we're doing and what topic you want to hear discussed on Raising Joy.

Impact of Educational Leadership Episode 173 Hosted by: I. D. III for Isaiah Drone III | John Mirrione | Charles Caldwell | Maggie Messina Youth Suicide Prevention An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world. For every suicide, likely 20 other people are making a suicide attempt, and many more have serious thoughts of suicide. Suicide is a serious public health problem among all age groups. It exacts an enormous toll on youth due to the significant years of potential life lost. In 2020, suicide was the second leading cause of death among those ages 10-24 and 25-34. Research indicates there is no single cause of suicide. However, there is the belief that many of those who die by suicide have an underlying mental health or substance misuse condition. The most common mental health condition is depression. Research indicates that more males die by suicide, but more females attempt suicide. Some of the highest death rates (numbers per 100,000) are in the native American population and adult white males. John Mirrione: What self-defense strategies do you recommend for fighting against mental health because of the effects of martial arts participation on mental and psychosocial health outcomes? Charles Caldwell: What is a real life story that connects you to this topic? Maggie Messina: What do you tell a child that feels lonely and isolated from the world?

This week, in a defamation trial in the US, Alex Jones, founder of the Infowars website, was ordered to pay nearly one billion dollars in damage to eight families and an FBI agent. He had falsely claimed a mass shooting of twenty young children between ages of 6 and 7 and six adults at the Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut in 2012 was a hoax. Because of his lies grieving families were harassed and threatened by his followers. Nicole Hockley's six year old son Dylan was killed in the shooting and was part of the defamation case and awarded millions in damages.

President Biden addressed the nation calling on Congress to act after the recent round of mass shootings in the country. “How much carnage are we willing to accept?” Biden asked.

#Millennial is back in time for PRIDE month y'all! Time for some pretend adulting, gay talk. To kick off Pride Month, we speak with Kacen Callender, author of bestselling novel 'Felix Ever After.' Kacen tells us how they got started as a writer, and we chat about the increase in popularity of LGBTQ romance in mainstream media. Kacen can't spill too much, but 'Felix Ever After' is being adapted by Amazon, and we're so excited to see it! Follow Kacen on Twitter and check out their website here! It's time to talk gun safety reform... again. In the space of two weeks, mass shootings in a Buffalo supermarket and a Texas grade school left dozens dead. We've heard the same rhetoric around this gun debate for our entire lives - why does this keep happening? We look at some data to explain how our state legislatures respond. The upshot is this: Republican controlled state legislatures respond by loosening gun laws 120% in the year following a mass shooting. Why? The NRA continues to be better funded, and gun fanatics are simply better at engaging with the political process. Here's what we all need to do to make a difference: be engaged with what your state's legislature is doing, join a local gun violence prevention group, donate to a national gun reform organization (Everytown For Gun Safety, Brady, Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, Sandy Hook Promise), volunteer for pro-gun reform candidates, and VOTE in every election!  Want to help victims and survivors in Buffalo and Uvalde?

Joy Reid begins this episode of The ReidOut with yet another devastating tragedy that leaves us all emotionally spent, exhausted, angry, and indescribably sad. Eighteen little kids and one of their teachers are dead in Texas, and countless more traumatized, after yet another mass shooting, this one at Robb Elementary School. The school is in Uvalde, Texas which is 85 miles west of San Antonio. Texas Governor Greg Abbott identified the shooter as an 18-year-old Uvalde resident. He added that the shooter abandoned his vehicle and entered Robb Elementary with a handgun and possibly a second firearm. Abbott added that the shooter was likely killed by responding officers, but that the events were still being investigated. Abbott, along with former president Donald Trump, and Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz are scheduled to speak at the National Rifle Association's 2022 annual meeting on Friday in Houston. Nationally, 134 children have been killed by gun violence this year alone. Joy Reid is joined by Nicole Hockley, co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise. She lost her 6-year-old son Dylan in the Sandy Hook Shooting.
