The event will be moderated by Divisional Dean for Arts and Humanities John-Michael Rivera, whose research focuses on gun violence.

Thank you to everyone who joined Colorado Chautauqua and CU ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ's Center for Humanities & the Arts for this in-person event showcasing resiliency through the creation of art as a response to gun violence in our local community.

#ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵStrong Resource Center
Rebuilding lives through therapy and partnership
TheÌýÌýis a safe place of healing and support dedicated to serving as a resource and referral center for residents, visitors and first responders affected by the ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ Table Mesa tragedy. It is a multi-agency resource hub managed byÌýÌýof ºù«ÍÞÊÓƵ, Colorado and sponsored by King Soopers.
The center’s trained professionals know that people process grief and trauma differently and on their own timeline. As a result, therapy is never forced. In fact, therapy may not be for everyone, and that is okay. Our goal is to help you work through the traumatic experience to move forward in your life. Each person’s journey and timetable are different. Some people may need to play with a comfort dog while others may need someone to talk to. It’s all about helping you heal.
