Community offers mental health resources in aftermath of Greenwood mall shooting

In the aftermath of a mass shooting that left four people dead, including the shooter, and injured two people at the Greenwood Park Mall on Sunday, the greater Greenwood community community is coming together to offer mental health resources.

Here’s a look at some of the resources:

Coffeehouse Five offering free mental health treatment support Friday

Coffeehouse Five’s Greenwood location will be hosting an event Friday to provide mental health support for those affected by this past Sunday’s shooting at the Greenwood Park Mall.

The nonprofit coffee shop, which is dedicated to helping the community through offering mental health treatment support and counseling services, will host the event at its Greenwood location, 323 Market Plaza, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday.

Shop owners will be joined by psychotherapist Christine Turo-Shields. Turo-Shields has over 30 years of experience providing therapy in a variety of settings, including treating anxiety/panic disorders, and abuse/trauma/PTSD. She has provided support in previous mass disaster events such as the Richmond Hill explosion and the Indiana State Fair stage collapse, according to a Coffeehouse Five news release.

No barista service will be available during the event to allow Coffeehouse Five to participate. Free brewed coffee and water will be provided, the news release says.

While the event is free, guests are asked to pre-register to ensure plenty of seating. Guests can register at: https://www.cognitoforms.com/CoffeehouseFive/WereInThisTogether
