Austin Eubanks - Surviving trauma after Columbine

From Saturday Morning, 8:10 am on 24 February 2018

Watching students flee from a gunman at their school in Florida last week brought back painful memories for Austin Eubanks. Eubanks hid under a table in the school library in 1999 as two students opened fire on their classmates at Columbine High School.

Eubanks' story is one of addiction and recovery, and the impact of emotional pain on individuals and in society following traumatic events.
