Societal trauma, like school shootings and racial injustice, have become all too commonplace in our kids’ lives. It’s tough for families to help any child process the feelings that come along with these traumatic events. And it can be extra challenging for families of kids of color with learning and thinking differences like ADHD.  In this episode of The Opportunity Gap, we explore trauma: its causes, how to identify it, and how it impacts us.
