Millions of children live with chronic trauma, and we should rescue them no differently than if they were victims of a natural disaster. Their despair has been normalized by the political establishment. but not by me. We need a massive realignment of investment in America's kids.
We need trauma-informed education, community wrap-around services, anti-bullying, mental health services, mindfulness in schools. Every school should be a palace of learning, culture and the arts. The best way to serve America's future is by better serving our children today.
We need a US Department of Children and Youth in order to coordinate the efforts needed to provide adequate responses to the unbelievable vulnerabilities & challenges of our kids today. America has the professionals who know what to do to solve all this. I will put them to work!
Agreed
Blows my mind that the solution to a child’s trauma is through the education system and not where the trauma is occurring
We need all of this and we need it fast! This is a real crisis! This trauma is not small by any means! It is the kind that people returning from war experience! Our children deserve to be protected and helped! I don’t know how much longer we can help them if we don’t get help too
I couldn't agree more.
I believe trauma-informed practices are already a big part of education. I’d like to see our communities receive more sustainable mental health supports so that schools can truly focus on education.
