Urban violence, poverty, and racial injustice are ongoing sources
of traumatic stress that affect the physical, emotional and
cognitive development and well-being of millions of children each
year. Growing attention is therefore directed toward the study of
child trauma and incorporation of trauma-sensitive practices within
schools. Currently such practices focus on social and emotional
learning for all children, with some in-school therapeutic
approaches, and outside referrals for serious trauma. There is
inadequate attention to racial injustice as an adverse childhood
experience (ACE) confronting Black males among other youth of
color. Although there are guidelines for trauma-sensitive
approaches, few are culturally responsive. And it is now critical
that educators consider the traumatic impacts of a dual pandemic
(covid-19 and racism) on children and their education. This timely
book thus serves to inform and inspire transformative healing and
empowerment among traumatized children and youth in
pandemic/post-pandemic school and after-school settings. The reader
will learn about trauma through actual experiences. Researchers and
practitioners present approaches to healing that can be adapted to
local situations and settings. The book consists of four parts:
Youth Voices on Traumatic Experience; Trauma-focused Research;
Culturally Responsive and Trauma Sensitive Practices; and Where do
we go from Here? Suggestions for Next Steps. Each part contains a
set of themed chapters and closes with a youth authored poetic
expression. The book is especially designed for those working in
urban education. However, anyone whose work is related to
traumatized children and youth will find the book informative,
especially in a post-pandemic educational environment.
