As our nation reels from the
terrible events in Newtown, Conn., The Dr. Oz Show will offer a special
broadcast on Dec. 17, which will examine the issues that many people face upon
learning of the Dec. 14 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Due to the unique scale and
horror of the murders, it's normal for people to be deeply affected by the
news, furthermore to experience painful and potentially dangerous stress
symptoms.
In addition to the physical
manifestations of stress, the emotional, psychological and spiritual toll on
the nation is great. Not only surrounding the Newtown shooting, but other major
shootings such as the Aurora movie theater shooting, the Virginia Tech massacre
and the Columbine school shooting have shown that crisis counseling and other
resources are necessary, even for people who are far removed from the actual
events.
The Dr. Oz Show is broadcasting
the special episode as a stand of solidarity and support for a nation in
mourning. The Dec. 17 broadcast will be an open discussion dedicated to healing
and support as a country. The show will tape on the morning of Dec. 17 and air
in the afternoon in the majority of U.S. markets. Those cities that regularly
air The Dr. Oz Show after 2 p.m. will carry the show in its entirety, visit
