Reply to "Trauma Informed Training for Teens and Young Adults"

I don't think the neuroscience is helpful. I think it's disempowering and distracts from solutions to the problem. I think just teaching people about community resilience and individual level resilience is a lot better.

Some advocates say, "you have to understand the problem to care about the solution," but other advocates have massive amounts of research showing that biology based health care messaging does NOT activate people. IT makes people feel fatalistic.

We are about to crunch some data comparing these two approaches for urban teens and young adults.

In the meantime, Mind UK has a great "how to" report on this stuff. https://www.mind.org.uk/media/...ient_communities.pdf
