Community News

A majority of the children and youth we help have been exposed to and are victims of trauma and childhood adversity. Many of our clients have been exposed to violence. Many have symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, drug and alcohol dependency, school interruption, etc. Please take a moment and view the video below to learn more about childhood trauma and its impact on children. Nadine Burke Harris is an expert on the subject matter and provides great insight during this TED Talk video.
