Therapist Says Charlie Kirk Shooting Still Affects UVU Community a Year Later

A local therapist says students and parents may still need support as the accused shooter awaits trial and the death penalty remains possible.

  • As Utah Valley University approaches the one-year anniversary of the shooting of Charlie Kirk, therapist Brady Clegg notes that students and community members may still face emotional challenges from the trauma.
  • Clegg helped form a coalition offering free counseling services to those struggling with the event, though demand for support quickly overwhelmed the coalition's available staffing.
  • Participating practices provided about 1,000 counseling sessions, with many clients finding ways to reframe their experiences and continue with life, Clegg reported.
  • Grounding techniques and professional support can help those struggling with anxiety rebuild a sense of safety, Clegg recommends, particularly during the anniversary when news coverage serves as reminders.
  • Families should monitor behavioral changes in young people and consider connecting with supportive communities or visiting Tangible Therapy for professional assistance, Clegg advised.
