Reply to "Has your city or county government specifically addressed the need for schools in the community to become trauma-informed?"

Hey Elizabeth - I know it is too late to meet your deadline but thought I would respond for future reference anyway.First let me say I am excited to hear that you are starting discussions at the city level. 

 

We are just starting conversations here in Orange County and San Diego Counties in California. We are using my new book 8 Ways to Create their Fate: Protecting the Sexual Innocence of Children in Youth-Serving Organizations as the basis of discussion. The book is designed to help organizations who serve youth (i.e. schools, faith, sports, etc.) understand the impact of child sexual abuse and their role in preventing abuse within and through their programs. It might be valuable for you to read and share as it provides a step-by-step action plan for schools to address the issue of abuse including awareness, abuse by staff, abuse by other students, how to recognize the signs of abuse, and how to respond appropriately. 

 

Best of luck on your initiative and I look forward to hearing more about your success!

 

Diane
