With the verdict in the King Soopers Table Mesa shooting court case announced earlier this week, our community begins another stage of processing the devasting tragedy that happened in March 2021 when 10 beloved community members’ lives were taken. In the weeks that followed, we opened the Boulder Strong Resource Center – in partnership with King Soopers and the City - to support the many individuals and families in our community who were affected. This resource continues to serve folks now. The Center’s trained professionals know that people process grief and trauma differently and on their own timeline. Many types of support are available including therapy. Our goal is to help community members impacted by the tragedy work through the traumatic experience to move forward in their life. If you or someone you know needs support at this time, please visit us at 2935 Baseline Road in Boulder or call 303-545-0844. Your healing is important. https://lnkd.in/g32_m_Fm
