Our youth are growing up in unprecedented times. They have seen global tensions, a worldwide pandemic and upheaval to the safeties embedded in their daily lives, national friction and violence, social media and the impact of advanced technology, and ongoing conflict interweaving between these macro matters.
While trying to make sense of the world around them, our children and adolescents also often times face deeper and more individualized issues surrounding family, peer relations, community, and internal belief systems. The number of children and adolescents who have experienced mild to severe forms of trauma has risen exponentially.
