​The recent tragic shooting in Monterey Park has impacted many lives and the department wants to remind our San Bernardino County family that tragedies, such as this, may trigger or increase feelings of anxiety, sadness, fear, anger and painful memories for people who have been impacted by trauma.

Coping strategies to help get through such tragedies include:
  • Recognize and acknowledge the feelings one is experiencing is normal;
  • Find healthy ways to cope with distress that allow the mind to focus on things other than distressing memories such as engaging in activities that you enjoy or that bring you peace;
  • Engage in contemplative activities like reading, walking, or interacting with one’s faith-based community;
  • Significantly reduce exposure to media including television, radio and social media;
  • Be in the company of those you love and who support you;
  • Use your support system and don’t be afraid to reach out.
