Responses to school shootings nationwide have been varied. While prevention and intervention have been a primary focus for many public schools, healing through faith has been less communicated in the public. Many survivors and stakeholders have publicly ridiculed overtly spiritual responses to school shootings that minimize action needed to address the issue, citing that policy change and improved safety precautions in schools are the primary ways in which change will occur. However, multiple recent suicides of individuals who experienced the effects of a school shooting, suggest that healing from trauma should also be a main priority after a school shooting. This study explores the role of faith and religion with trauma intervention in the aftermath of school shootings. The article uses case study data to discuss the methods by which faith can be a resource for healing from trauma after school shootings.

Although the importance of euphoria-seeking in opiate addiction has been debated by leading drug abuse theorists including Lindesmith, Wikler, Brill, Bejerot and others, few researchers have heretofore collected systematic data on the issue. Statistical and case study data obtained over the past few years show that euphoria-seeking is a major cause of opiate addiction for most nontherapeutic addicts but for only a few therapeutic addicts. Theoretical analysis and empirical data indicate that euphoria-seeking is also a key component in the causation of many of the secondary problems of nontherapeutic addiction, including crime, unemployment, death, and disease. In the absence of euphoria-seeking, opiate addiction would be a much less severe public health and social problem.
