Childhood trauma can severely affect a child’s ability to learn, as well as their lifelong health and well-being. Matthew Bennett, MBA, MA, a national speaker, trainer, and author, shares how the well-known Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study helped shape the trauma-informed care approach. Bennett is also working with the nonprofit, Young and Healthy, to help train educators who are participating in a pilot program to implement a trauma-informed school model in the Pasadena Unified School District. The project, supported in part with a Kaiser Permanente Southern California community health grant, will help prepare the educators to recognize, and respond to, children impacted by trauma.
