This article is a first-person account of a supervisor working with more than 600 volunteer professional helpers who helped the victims, families, friends, and others impacted by the massacre. An event like this elicits both personal and professional responses and, in working with the helpers, the two responses both impacted the work that was done by the supervisor. This account provides a better understanding of skills and dispositions helpful in responding to a community trauma and the personal impact on the supervisor.
