Trauma-Informed Youth Mentoring

Service Description

Trauma-Informed Mentoring understands and considers the nature of trauma and promotes environments of healing and recovery rather than practices that may inadvertently re-traumatize. According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative, about two-thirds of children experience at least one traumatic event by the age of sixteen. Trauma is one or more events or situations that feel physically or emotionally harmful or threatening. Common causes of trauma include child abuse (physical, emotional, sexual), grief, being a witness or victim of violence, neglect, war/terrorism, medical trauma, mental illness, bullying in school, or separation from loved ones. Trauma can cause youth to have intense physical and psychological stress responses. The impact of trauma can have significant effects on the developing brain, which helps us to regulate our emotions; and regulate fear. Youth suffering from trauma effects can have long-term impacts.
