The Connecticut Psychiatric Society (CPS) reacted swiftly to the tragic
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., last Friday. CPS
President John Santopietro, M.D., and Disaster Committee Chair Shaukat Khan
, M.D., consulted that afternoon with APA experts on disaster psychiatry.
Within hours, 100 CPS members responded to Santopietro’s e-mail requesting
volunteers to help in the stricken town. By coincidence, CPS had conducted a
disaster-response training session for members just a month before.
By Saturday afternoon, working through the Red Cross and state and local
health agencies, CPS arranged for at least two psychiatrists to be on duty
with other mental health professionals for three-hour shifts from 7 a.m. to
7 p.m. at a crisis-response center in Newtown. On Sunday, they met with more
than 300 local children and adults.
More such help will be needed in the weeks, months, and years ahead to
contain the suffering and anxiety caused by the shooting, said Santopietro.
“Concentric waves of psychological pain are rippling out from Newtown, and
we want people to get excellent care,” he said. The CPS will continue
working with area health and social-service agencies in that long-term
effort.
More information about the APA's response to the tragedy in Newtown can be
