What is TSN?

The Trauma Support Network (TSN) is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative initiative to help the people of greater Kansas City after a traumatic loss. The event responsible for the loss could be a terrorist attack, a random drive-by shooting or a suicide. The effects of 'critical events' or victims and witnesses have the potential to lead to a variety of spiritual, mental and physical health issues if not properly addressed. The TSN, which works closely with law enforcement agencies, has built a network of trained professionals and volunteers.  TSN team members are available to respond 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to those affected by a traumatic event who need support, interventions or related services.  Support may be offered at the time of the critical incident and/or weeks or even months following the event. The TSN is also committed to providing education and training for the general public and the professional community on traumatic grief and critical incident stress.
