Unity of Fairfax

Join Luis D. Aponte for an insightful session focused on recognizing early warning signs and building emotional strength in youth. Luis&nbsp;delivers a research‑driven roadmap communities can use to&nbsp;prevent school violence and foster emotional safety for every child.&nbsp;Drawing on real stories and practical solutions, it equips families,&nbsp;educators, and local leaders with clear steps to build resilience, manage&nbsp;stress, and recognize warning signs before tragedy occurs. Framed by values&nbsp;of care, stewardship, and shared responsibility, the session inspires hope&nbsp;and unity and shows how every community member can make a difference — from&nbsp;securing firearms responsibly to volunteering in schools and launching&nbsp;kindness campaigns. Participants will leave with simple, local actions,&nbsp;conversation starters, and volunteer suggestions that strengthen bonds,&nbsp;protect children, and create safer, more compassionate neighborhoods for&nbsp;generations to come.










Luis D. Aponte is a librarian, U.S. Air Force veteran,&nbsp;and the author of *A Safe Place: How to Prevent the Next School Shooting *and&nbsp;*The Ultimate U.S. School Shooting Reference Guide, Volumes 1–3*, works&nbsp;dedicated to school safety and gun‑violence prevention. A former student at&nbsp;Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the site of the 2018 Parkland,&nbsp;Florida mass school shooting (though he attended many years before the&nbsp;shooting there), he has spent seven years researching more than 1,200 U.S.&nbsp;school‑shooting incidents to identify patterns and practical solutions. He&nbsp;holds a master’s degree in Library and Information Science from the&nbsp;University of South Florida, and his work has appeared in the Mt. Vernon&nbsp;Gazette, Fairfax Connection, and the peer‑reviewed journal EDUCATION. Luis&nbsp;lives in Virginia, enjoys "forest bathing" in national parks with his wife,&nbsp;and is committed to empowering communities with practical, nonpartisan&nbsp;strategies to keep children and educators safe.
