Drawing on his own family of adopted and biological children, he reflects on what he’s learned about healing childhood trauma as a father and a Traumatologist. He also emphasizes the need for community nonprofits to link arms, walking side-by-side in a healing response for our community’s children. Finally, he invites listeners to consider their gifts, time, and resources, showing how each of us can play a part in a shared mission of hope and healing.
