Re: Pennington: TIME4K program expands to help students in Wayne, Cabell counties
It is a great idea to support and teach skills for regulation. Schools should adopt universal precautions for trauma informed care and teach and support regulation with all students (and adults) to best treat trauma. Sometimes the people who do not show “signs” of trauma could really benefit, too.

Campbell: Exploring the Biological Inheritance of Childhood Trauma
We know from history that traumatic experiences in childhood can have long-lasting effects, impacting both the physical body and our mental health. Research has shown that these stressful experiences in life can also impact the offspring of individuals whom have endured trauma. This contradicts some of the basic underpinnings of genetic hereditary. How can experiences in life affect our gametes – the sperm and egg cells – which pass on hereditary information through DNA to our offspring?

It is a profound paradigm...
