Gun Violence News Site Opens: www.gunviolencenews.com

VICTORIA, British Columbia - Oct. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- With the increasing frequency and seriousness of gun violence in the US and many other countries, there is a need for current reporting on such events.

To help fill the gap in focused content, the website http://www.gunviolencenews.com has been developed .

The website actively promotes mental health counselor training and services as the essential response to the gun violence epidemic. Under the surface of gun violence, another kind of epidemic lurks.

A majority of all violent acts are the result of mental distress experienced by the shooters. In many instances, the shooter suffers from serious mental illness such as schizophrenia or other psychosis, PTSD, severe depression, addiction, or perhaps a serious life crisis such as a relationship breakup, loss of a loved one, or unemployment and financial stress.

For this reason, the College of Mental Health Counseling provides online training and supervision. Scholarships are available, and no one is turned away who needs financial assistance to begin training.
