Over 2.7 million children have a parent who is incarcerated over the holiday season. For these children there is an empty hole in their lives. Often our systems do not realize that these children are impacted so severely. Imagine their holiday memories during these times. I believe that if we are to provide care and […]
Trauma Informed Justice Systems
The idea of trauma-informed justice systems is an idea that is just beginning to emerge. One of the most utilized and growing systems in America is our Justice System.

Trauma Ignites Stress Hormones
The impact on the body of unresolved, significant trauma. Most of us can think about a time when we were startled, frightened, felt threatened or put in a place of high stress.

While media ads present the holidays as a time of love and family and togetherness, for many people the holidays are anything but these things.
