🚩‼️🔱A must-read from my doctoral school colleague Marti Smith! Teachers, support staff, therapists etc should pick this up on Amazon 😃 school is the main location where most of our traumatized kiddos will ever receive services (and more importantly safe connection with adults) due to family, community, or financial barriers 💪 💡

📣Research in the development of resilience for traumatized children has shown that school is one of the main places that can act as a buffer against the negative lifelong effects of household trauma (meaning, someone can experience astronaumical amounts of trauma but positive connections and experiences in school with adults and peers can offset a lot of the negativity - and this effect lasts throughout the person's lifetime - how cool is that 😀)

P.S. I am always inspired by classmates who help develop our field. Bravo 👏

Do what you love and call it "work."

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,  since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs, and there is no favoritism."
