Texas, We Have A Problem with Youth Mental Health
More than ever before, mental health researchers and professionals are finding that untreated trauma is at the core of many chronic health issues. As a leading childhood trauma organization, we recognize the importance of addressing this issue head-on.
According to SAMHSAS’s National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative, more than two-thirds of children reported at least one traumatic event by the age of 16. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently declared a national emergency in children’s mental health and has also recognized trauma-informed services as an effective way to tackle the crisis.
At Chester Street Foundation, we believe education is a critical component to helping traumatized children on their road to recovery. Our TraumaTALKS programs are designed for the community at-large and for professionals who are on the frontlines of this issue, including mental health professionals, educators, and organizations working with children. By partnering with a mental health nonprofit like ours, you can help make a difference.
TraumaTALKS Programs
