Sleep isn’t just rest — it’s the brain’s reset button. 🧡 For children who’ve experienced trauma, sleep supports the parts of the brain that manage emotions, memory, and learning. When sleep is disrupted, children may be more irritable, anxious, or have trouble focusing in school.
Caregivers can help by creating calming bedtime routines and safe sleep environments that promote healing.

💙 May is Foster Care Awareness Month 💙
According to NCTSN, children who experience trauma are 2.7 times more likely to have behavioral problems in school and are significantly more likely to be suspended or expelled — even in early grades.
Behind every foster care story, there’s often trauma.
At Gateway, we support foster families with trauma-informed tools to help children heal, grow, and thrive.
Because foster care should be more than safe—it should be healing.
