New Book on Youth Trauma and Intervention Strategies:
Un-Silencing Youth Trauma: Transformative School-based
Strategies for Students Exposed to Violence & Adversity
Available at: https://www.infoagepub.com/products/Un-Silencing-Youth-Trauma
This timely book informs and inspires transformative healing and empowerment among
traumatized children and youth in pandemic/post-pandemic school and after-school settings. The reader will learn about trauma through actual experiences. Researchers and practitioners present approaches to healing that can be adapted to local situations and settings. The book consists of four parts: Youth Voices on Traumatic Experience; Trauma-focused Research; Culturally Responsive and Trauma Sensitive Practices; and Where do we go from Here? Suggestions for Next Steps. Each part contains a set of themed chapters and closes with a youth-authored poetic expression. The book is especially designed for those working in urban education. However, anyone whose work is related to traumatized children and youth will find the book informative, especially in a post-pandemic educational environment.
