Dear AWP Members, On behalf of the leadership of the Association of Women Psychiatrists and myself, I would like to express our deepest sympathies to the families of the 20 The unspeakable acts of gun violence on December 14, 2012 in Newtown call for action NOW to do all that we can to prevent these senseless killings. We must not accept that we cannot meaningfully address the gun violence and mass killings which have become epidemic in our society. We must not accept that we cannot find solutions to this complex problem, which include serious consideration of banning military-type assault weapons and high capacity ammunition clips, improving and increasing access to quality mental health treatment across all settings, and addressing our society's culture of violence. We must not allow ourselves to have these horrific events fade from our memories until the next one. We must act NOW. |
