Most of us are aware that the chance of dying in a motor vehicle accident is much greater than the chance of being injured by a sniper or a terrorist.  This knowledge does not necessarily quell our fear.  The idea that we can be gunned-down as we leave a Ponderosa Steak House or a Home Depot has many of us looking over our shoulder. 

The Center for Mental Health Services at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has collected a set of resources to help us cope.  Many of us are again feeling vulnerable, and it may help to review some of the basics about this emotion.
