Please introduce yourself and your work to our readers.
I am the Executive Director of the Center on Child Wellbeing and Trauma (CCWT), which is managed out of the University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School in partnership with the Office of the Child Advocate. We received funding for the Center from the state budget.
How did the Center on Child Wellbeing and Trauma (CCWT) come about, how does CCWT address the needs of children and families in Massachusetts?
The Center on Child Wellbeing and Trauma came about over several years. We had been working on the issues of trauma, particularly trauma, race, and resilience. For me, personally, this came about really through a racial equity lens.
