The Connecticut Mirror's four-part "Starting Early" series on childhood trauma by Arielle Levin Becker offers an in depth look at a critical public health issue.
The "Starting Early" series is a must-read for policy makers, providers, parents and others who care for or work with young children and their families. The CT Mirror describes the series as examining "the science of childhood trauma, neglect and chronic stress, Connecticut initiatives to apply brain science to help young children and families overcome significant adversity and prevent deeper problems from developing later on, and efforts to better recognize when children need help coping with trauma."
