Handle With Care Exemplifies How Sectors Can Partner to Mitigate the Impact of Trauma on Kids
Law enforcement is called to the scene of a domestic violence incident where children are present. Mom receives medical attention and her partner leaves in the back of the police car. The children arrive at school the next day physically and emotionally exhausted. They may complain of physical ailments, have emotional meltdowns, or act out towards their peers. In short, they are in no shape to effectively engage in classroom learning, and neither teachers nor school staff know why.
