Community Discussion: Addressing the Root Causes of Childhood Trauma

 

The Santa Fe Community Foundation is proud to share the work of staff member, Dr. Katherine Ortega Courtney. Her current book, Anna Age 8: The data-driven prevention of childhood trauma and maltreatment, will be discussed in Santa Fe on Friday, February 23, 2018.

We must disrupt the current systems that allow childhood trauma and maltreatment to grow. Everything we've been doing has led to where we are today with alarmingly high rates of childhood adversity, abuse and neglect. 

Join Dr. Courtney for a discussion addressing the magnitude of the epidemic of childhood trauma. The book details ten key community services that are vital and how they strengthen families, and offers a way to address the root causes of childhood trauma.

After years of working with child welfare systems across the country to create a data-driven approach to addressing child maltreatment, the authors provide a blueprint for strengthening systems of care that prevent childhood adversity, neglect and abuse before it happens.
