Childhood Trauma In Idaho Youth: Causes, Impacts And Treatments

idahochildrenstrustfund.org

We take the hour to look at the causes, impacts and treatments of childhood trauma and the lifelong effects they cause. Local schools are using exercises in "mindfulness" to teach students how to center themselves and learn effective tools for conflict resolution. We talk with area educators and counselors about how schools are re-evaluating the way they address youth trauma.
