Description
Summary:
In neighborhoods ravaged by years of disinvestment and racial exclusion, too many children and young people like Caheri Gutíerrez, Antonio Carter, and Javier Arango wrestle with sudden rages, nightmares, inability to trust, depression, and difficulty concentrating in school. Traumatized by violence, poverty, and adversity as disturbing as some war zones, they show symptoms similar to PTSD—except there is no post. But peer counselors, doctors, and community organizers are blazing a new model of trauma-informed care. Rather than ask, What’s wrong with you? they ask, What happened to you? and "How can we help you heal?" Through trauma-informed care, Caheri and Javier became remarkable counselors now working with other young people on how to transform trauma. Children can flourish, and so will the nation, when we invest in impoverished communities rather than neglect them.
