Mark your calendar - May 25 is Trauma-Informed Awareness Day, a state-wide recognition of childhood adversity that highlights the importance of #prevention, #resilience, & #traumainformed care. We will lift up the voices of our Youth Council via a day-long social media takeover.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. We recognize the importance of mental health for—and its impact on—the well-being of children, families, and communities. Mental well-being allows children to manage stressors, realize their abilities, learn and work well, and thrive.
It is urgent that we take action to address the trauma caused by racism. Learn more about Bright Promises Foundation's response at brightpromises.org. #racialtrauma #traumainformed #healingcentered #healing #leading #changing #brightpromises #chicagoyouth #chicago #trauma
