Response to a Tragedy
Harold S. Koplewicz, M.D., Director of the NYU Child Study Center, appeared on The Today Show to talk about the Cleveland school shooting that took place on October 10th. Dr. Koplewicz discussed the warning signs of a troubled child and what action parents and school professionals can take if they think there is a problem. When asked why these tragedies continue to occur, Dr. Koplewicz answered that the stigma of mental illness prevents parents and children from seeking the help that they need. (October 11, 2007)
