Re: Trauma Informed DC Brown Bag Lunch
Hi Brenda, thanks for your feedback. I admit I am not so good with this interface, but here it is attached as a Word announcement. When I saved it as a PDF the registration link kept failing for me.

Re: Washington, DC, forum examines trauma-informed approaches to end school-to-prison pipeline
Elizabeth, Thank you so much for this rich update! I am meeting with three members of my children's public school in Montgomery County to talk about Trauma-Informed Practices in mid-November. I'd like to invite them to contact and/or join this group. We have SOME PBIS-program schools, but most schools (and teachers) are uneducated about childhood adversity and all the trauma they bring inside the classroom. These three Board members seem very emotionally intelligent. I know it will be a slow...

Prevention is Essential: Collective Impact Coalition Promotes Safe, Stable, Nurturing Relationships and Environments for All Maryland’s Children
When members of Maryland’s State Council on Child Abuse and Neglect (SCCAN) began in 2006 to examine what their state was doing in the realm of prevention, they discovered a gaping hole. Many participants in the 23-member Council—people working in child welfare, mental health, law enforcement and advocacy groups—knew about ACEs and about the corrosive effects of early childhood maltreatment. But they discovered, through informational interviews across different sectors and an environmental...

After a shooting at a historic Baltimore high school in February 2019—a 25-year-old man, angry about the school’s treatment of his sister, who was a student there, shot a special education assistant with a Smith and Wesson handgun—conversation in the city centered on whether school resource officers should be armed. Students said that was the wrong question. When City Council’s education and youth committee, chaired by council member Zeke Cohen, held hearings on school violence following the...

The littlest witnesses to D.C.'s gun violence inspire an initiative aimed at stopping it [washingtonpost.com]
By Theresa Vargas, The Washington Post, September 26, 2020 A 13-year-old girl sits in her home on the Northwest side of the nation’s capital, taps on her screen to get to class — and feels relieved. Relieved that she doesn’t have to sling her backpack over her shoulder and say goodbye to her mom and little sister. Relieved that she doesn’t have to step outside and make the 2-minute walk to her middle school. Relieved that at the end of the school day, she doesn’t have to walk home alone.
