Addressing the Heightened Crisis of Childhood Trauma
"This is both about recovery from the pandemic, charting a more equitable path forward that addresses the root causes of trauma and also – given the disproportionate adverse childhood trauma that impacts marginalized communities – this is an issue of racial justice as well," says Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley.
Pressley reintroduced legislation earlier this month to provide funding for local public health departments to address childhood trauma. Her goal is disrupt the cycle of intergenerational trauma by providing resources to state public health departments, which would then direct the funding to community-based organizations with a track record of effectively helping families in the communities they serve. Read the story from U.S. News & World Report and learn more about the legislation on Pressley's website.
