RSVP FOR THE PTSD AND MENTAL HEALTH: CHILDREN’S FUTURE FORUM
We’ve all heard the stories in the media – the gunshots, the men, women and children slain in our streets, gun battles over street-turf conflicts and prevalent gang violence. But behind these one-day headlines are the stories of the children who may suffer a lifetime from the pain of seeing and experiencing these violent acts firsthand. On a battlefield overseas, soldiers at least would be treated for posttraumatic stress. But the victims of our war on drugs at home often suffer in silence, with our schools and communities not yet equipped to address or even fully understand their trauma.
That’s why I’m organizing this important forum on mental health issues in our community with mental health experts, local leaders, educators, parents and friends, so we can share our experiences and expertise in order to secure a brighter future for our kids and our neighborhoods. Please RSVP and join the conversation on July 31.
