Two and a half months ago, four members of the Hmong community died in a mass shooting in Fresno. As the victims’ loved ones continue to process their feelings of anger and loss, The Fresno Center has provided counseling and support programs. Now it’s expanding its efforts thanks to an $80,000 grant from Kaiser Permanente. FM89's Kathleen Schock spoke with psychologist Dr. Ghia Xiong from The Fresno Center along with licensed marriage and family therapist Ana Boydstun from Kaiser  Permanente about the ongoing work to help the community heal.
