Adolescent Health Initiative (AHI) resource supports youth impacted by community violence
Adolescent Health Initiative (AHI) published a new, free training module resource exploring trauma, community violence, trauma-informed care, youth engagement and youth adult partnerships, and how school-based health centers can foster partnerships with youth to address community violence.
For young people experiencing the traumas of community violence, school-based health centers (SBHC) can be a lifeline. But how can SBHC staff approach their interactions with adolescents in a sensitive, empowering way?
Resources, videos, and real-world examples will guide school staff and youth-serving professionals to work with youth to establish safe, welcoming spaces – both inside and outside of school – where they can connect, support each other, and thrive.
