Trauma Informed Care Part 2
Channel: Alicia Dorsey
Date: 2017-12-06

Learn how childhood traumas impact children and adults, and are often overlooked and consequently punished rather than treated in school settings. This fuels the school to prison pipeline. Dr. Joan Duvall-Flynn, current president of the NAACP Pennsylvania State Conference will be our guest speaker. WPMF is co-hosting with People’s Baptist.
Dr. Duvall-Flynn is a retired educator. Her professional career spans forty years of classroom practice which includes experience teaching from pre-school through graduate school. She is a published writer and a known public speaker and workshop presenter. Since 2010 she has focused intensely on the impact of emotional and physiological trauma as an impediment to school performance and has carried that message to create local, state and federal education policy.
