    I think it’s time we address the thousands of black kids living with PTSD in Chicago who resort to substance/drug abuse because they don’t know how else to escape their nightmares.

        With trauma and PTSD also comes disability. People who experiance childhood trauma are much more likely to develope autoimmune disease. http://www.acnp.org/asset.axd?id=dadba3b3-1bec-4a9e-b796-6833a6b04d20 … Diabetes is now considered to be likely an autoimmune disease, as well as a result of genetics and diet

        I just wrote a book about how I was fighting thoughts of killing my wife and kids - thoughts fueled by a PTSD I didn’t even know I had, a condition that grew out of violence I repeatedly witnessed when I was young. This issue is real. Very real.

        Exactamundo. The whole damn country is becoming a drug dependency case of some form or other (not just opioids) and we stay blind to what drives it. You can't solve a problem that you won't name.

        Keep the schools open until 9pm for kids in the troubled places. Dinner, homework help, quiet safe place to do homework, play in the gym...summer too. How much cheaper than prison would this be??

        Rahm Emanuel and his rubber stamp city council is too busy closing schools and mental health clinics, all while showering corporations with city money to relocate here.

        I am a retired Chicago school social worker and Rahm has cut number of us and other mental health providers. Heard recently that CPS said social workers aren’t to work with trauma in schools. How ridiculous is that!!!

        So who does? Teachers are already stretched thin. So who exactly do they have in mind to address these kids' issues? This makes absolutely no sense.
