What resources could help my friend find an alternative path away from their thoughts of participating in a mass shooting event?

Resources that could help your friend consider alternative paths away from thoughts of participating in a mass shooting event include mental health professionals, support groups such as Stop Mass Incarceration Network, online forums dedicated to exploring violence reduction strategies, educational videos on the consequences of shootings and other ways to channel feelings of aggression and powerlessness constructively. People’s Life-Craft Training (PLAT) is a good example. Retraining The Mind Project provides information about group therapy sessions for people who have entertained ideas about carrying out a massacre, as well as practical advice on how to change negative thoughts into more positive ones instead. Crisis text lines are another option where trained counselors provide confidential support 24/7. Additionally there are many websites such as the US National Domestic Violence Hotline which provide emotional support along with resources about local groups that work towards preventing violence by advocating alternative methods of expression and conflict resolution within society.
