KTVU 2 Fox News | Dir. Comms & Development Talks Empathy with Jana Katsuyama

“Violence is inherently a trauma—and not all violence looks the same.”
— Lauren Greenberg, Youth ALIVE!

Following the recent on-air shooting of conservative podcaster Charlie Kirk, our Director of Development & Communications, Lauren Greenberg, spoke with KTVU’s Jana Katsuyama to offer a public-health lens on how acts of violence ripple through communities—especially when witnessed in real time or replayed across media.

“Each human life has value. We each contain multitudes within us. And if you approach yourself from that perspective and other people from that perspective, of recognizing folks’ inherent humanity… that’s the first step in preventing violence, because it allows you to develop empathy.”

Youth ALIVE! remains committed to advancing a trauma-informed, healing-centered approach to violence prevention in Oakland and beyond.
