Pottstown officials are taking steps to reduce instances of childhood trauma among students in the school district.

The topic was discussed during a roundtable at the Pottstown Early Action for Kindergarten Readiness, or PEAK, program's annual meeting at Montgomery County Community College. A program of the school district, PEAK partners with private child care locations to provide prekindergarten education to local students.

The trauma that officials hope to reduce is related to adverse childhood experiences such as physical and emotional abuse, parents' divorce or the incarceration of a parent.
