How Trauma Is Impacting Our Culture and What We Can Do to Help (+webinar info)

"Yet, events that spark psychological symptoms of trauma don't always take place in the public eye. Child abuse and domestic abuses occur behind closed doors and at rates that are startling, to say the least. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, in 2010 there were 3.3 million reports of child abuse made in the United States involving the maltreatment of nearly 6 million children. A July report from the journal Pediatrics showed an increase in child abuse may be linked with the recent recession. With events that could lead to "simple" to "complex" trauma taking place every day, it is invaluable for us to gain a better understanding of trauma and how we can recognize and treat those affected."

Note: Jane mentioned this article in her previous roundup. The free webinar Aug 20th seems very valuable and I wanted to draw attention to this story and the webinar again. https://www1.gotomeeting.com/island/webinar/registration.tmpl?id=455981216
