Trauma of separating children from parents
In her recent newsletter, early childhood educator Patricia Nan Anderson offers her knowledgeable perspective on the trauma of separating children from parents, as the US is doing at our southern border. She includes a free, practical one-hour video course on Children and Trauma that gives 1 CEU. She talks about the harm trauma does to children, invites you to notice what traumas you have experienced yourself, and  calls on all of us to take action to help. (Working on your own healing counts as taking action.)
