There was another shooting victim on Aug 8 at approx 6pm on the corner of St. John's and Brooklyn. When will your mobilization occur?

It is sad that such psychological first aid doesn't arrive until 72 hours later, and can't respond to every shooting in Brooklyn, but it is certainly better than nothing.
The methods being tried are backed up by the available research in the field. It's nice to see folks try to implement it despite budget constraints.

Perhaps needless to say, if left unaddressed, lots of "small events" (like shootings) have a as bad of an effect as a few big events (like natural disasters and terrorist attacks).
