TO COPE WITH ON A DAYLIGHT TODAY , AND IT’S CRITICAL THAT STUDENTS GET THE HELP THAT THEY
NEED AND NOT JUST THE STUDENTS.
THE PARENTS AS WELL, WE HAVE A
CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST JOINING US
DR. ROSE MALTON TO TAKE A CLOSER
LOOK AT THIS AND YOU JUST SHARED
WITH ME. THERE IS A PERSONAL
CONNECTION TO ONE OF THE
STUDENTS WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AT
MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY LAST
NIGHT. YOUR DAUGHTER KNEW HER.
MY DAUGHTER KNEW HER. THEY
GRADUATED TOGETHER. FROM GROSSE
POINTE NORTH, AND I WAS ACTUALLY
ON THE PHONE WITH MY DAUGHTER.
WE WERE ON THE PHONE ALL NIGHT
TEXTING OR CALLING ALL NIGHT
LONG, HELPING HER NAVIGATE
BECAUSE SHE’S TEXTING WITH MANY
OF HER FORMER TEAMMATES FROM THE
TEAM WHO ARE IN CLOSETS OR
BARRICADED IN THEIR ROOM. AND
I’M JUST HELPING THE NAVIGATOR
DAUGHTER IS AT UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN, MICHIGAN
STATE. HOW HOW DO YOU HELP? MHM
STUDENTS LIKE THIS. I MEAN, SHE
HAS FRIENDS THAT WERE HUNKERED
DOWN UNDER BEDS THAT THAT IS A
TERRIFYING ORDEAL TO GO THROUGH
, AND THAT’S TRAUMATIC. SO WHAT
ARE THE SIGNS TO LOOK OUT? FOR
HOW WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO?
PARENTS JUST KNOW OVER THE NEXT
COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT YOU WANT TO
BE VERY OBSERVANT. THERE’S AN
ACRONYM PET. WE CAN REMEMBER
THAT YOU WANT TO LOOK FOR
PHYSICAL RESPONSES BECAUSE THERE
WILL BE PHYSICAL RESPONSES
OFTENTIMES. WHEN A PERSON HAS
EXPERIENCED SUCH TRAUMATIC EVENT
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE FLOOD
OF HORMONES, CORTISOL, THE
NOREPINEPHRINE THAT FLOODED
THESE SYSTEMS FOR HOURS IN A
CLOSET FOR HOURS IN THE DARK,
YOU KNOW, NOT GET OVER THAT
QUICKLY. GET OVER THAT QUICKLY,
AND IT CAN BE MANIFESTED IN
PHYSICAL, YOU KNOW, PHYSICAL
MANIFESTATION. SO FOR EXAMPLE,
WHAT DOES THAT EXAMPLE YOUR KIDS
MADE YOUR AND I STILL CALL THEM
KIDS. I KNOW THEY’RE ADULTS, BUT
THERE STILL ARE OUR KIDS AND OUR
BABIES. THEY MAY COMPLAIN ABOUT
STOMACH UPSET. MADE COMPLAIN
ABOUT BODY ACHES AND PAINS,
LITERALLY BODY ACHES AND PAINS
THAT YOU DON’T ASSOCIATE THAT
THIS IS TRAUMA. BUT WHEN YOU
THINK ABOUT THAT FLOOD, YOU KNOW
IN THIS FIGHT OR FLIGHT STATE
FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME. AND
WHAT ARE THESE HORMONES AND
WHERE THESE CHEMICALS DOING IN
THE BODY COULD BE ACTUALLY
HAVING A LOT OF MUSCULAR, YOU
KNOW, DISTRESS E E IS EMOTIONAL
. SO THE ANGER THE FEELING OF
FEAR ISOLATION. UM ALL OF THAT
DIFFICULTY, EVEN REGULATION.
THEY’RE REGULATING THEIR OWN
EMOTIONS. THEY MAY SNAP AT YOU
DON’T TAKE IT PERSONALLY AT ALL
, YOU KNOW, ALLOW THEM TO
PROCESS THIS. IT’S MEANT TO BE
PROCESSED. IT’S NOT MEANT TO BE
FIXED AT THIS TIME. AND THAT’S
PARENTS. YOU KNOW, AS A MOTHER,
WE WANT TO FIX IT BECAUSE WE
DON’T WANT OUR CHILDREN IN THIS
LEVEL OF THE STRESS, BUT IT’S A
PROCESS PROCESS. SO THERE’S A T
AND I ASKED FOR PETS. THE TEA IS
THE TEA AND THE TEA IS THE
THINKING THE COGNITIVE YOU KNOW
THEY CANCELED CLASS FOR 48.
EIGHT HOURS. WHICH IS GOOD, BUT
THE DIFFICULTY THEY’RE GOING TO
BE HAVING WITH CONFUSION,
DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING ITS
GOING TO EXTEND WELL PAST THIS
48 HOURS. PATIENT WITH THEM. I’M
SURE THE INSTRUCTORS ON CAMPUS
ARE GOING TO BE PATIENT WITH THE
KIDS BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT GOING
TO BE ABLE TO CONCENTRATE.
COORDINATE LIKE THEY WERE PRIOR
TO THIS EVENT. AND FINALLY, THE
S. IT’S PET PET, SO IT’S NOT S.
BUT THE S IS JUST WELL, WE’LL
PUT. IT S JUST PROVIDE THAT
SECURE, SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
FOR THEM, BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT
THEY NEED. RIGHT NOW. WE
APPRECIATE THE PERSPECTIVE. OUR
THOUGHTS GO TO YOUR DAUGHTER AND
ALL OF HER FRIENDS AS THEY
CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH THIS, A
