Parkland Sally North

Within days of each other, two parkland students committed suicide, a year since the MFOL campaign launched In response to the Stoneman Douglas shooting. One of the students, Sydney Aiello, was a senior during the attack and suffered from PTSD and survivor's guilt due to the death of her friend and fellow classmates.

These tragic events have caused outcry over mental health treatment and suicide prevention in the US. Throughout history US mental health care has never been adequate with people like Dorthea Dix needing to come in and make sweeping reforms. As there is no way to truly move on from such a tragedy, we need to provide the survivors with adequate resources during their times of need.
