This blog I an going to pick 3 quotes and explain the importance of them.
"I first became aware of the limitations of the term "trauma-informed care" during a healing circle I was leading with a group of African American young men. All of them had experienced some form of trauma ranging from sexual abuse, violence, homelessness, abandonment or all of the above" This quote stuck out to me because you may look at someone or talk to someone and never know what they are going through but they could be struggling heavily with something you never realize but they don't want to share that.
""These schools believe that discipline alone is sufficient to modify undesired classroom behavior, but research shows that school suspensions may further harm students who have been exposed to a traumatic event or experience" This really is important because there are teachers who will discipline students thinking that it will help them but really if they are getting suspended sometimes school is some student's safe place where there is nothing wrong so say you are suspended for a few days those students are not in school and they are dealing with their trauma and it can make their mental health worse. Teachers see it as a good way to punish a student but really it is just stopping the teachers from having to deal with students who act out or did something wrong.
"A healing centered approach to addressing trauma requires a different question that moves beyond 'what happened to you' to 'whats right with you' and views those exposed to trauma as agents in the creation of their own well-being rather than victims of traumatic events" I think this quote is important because they tell you what you should say instead of what is wrong to ask them what is right and that will probably make them realize that there is more things that is going well for them besides this trauma they are struggling with it may be tough but it will help them think about what is good.
