Head Start-Trauma Smart

Head Start-Trauma Smart is a highly successful early childhood trauma intervention program designed by the Crittenton Children's Center in response to the negative impacts of trauma in the lives of preschool children, particularly with regards to academic success. Children ages three to five who have experienced trauma are highly susceptible to emotional, social, and physical problems which can lead to behavioral outbursts and academic difficulties.

My heart was very touched when I saw a child trying to soothe a crying friend at 1:21 . You see both of these students with the knowledge that they've been through trauma, and yet they're still putting emphasis on making sure those around them feel safe and okay. This gives me hope for myself and my little brothers, even though I'm not able to protect them anymore from where I live now.

Play therapy helps children get over a traumatic incident of that magnitude

Start holding the bad parents responsible for the trauma they expose these children if you treat only the symptoms your not treating the problem because the kids go home and straight back into the same environment....mom's with several thug baby daddies, gangs, drugs, kids up all night roaming around not supervised let alone being cared needs to address the adults who are neglecting these kids and causing the trauma in the first
