PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Post-traumatic stress disorder, “PTSD,” is a malady commonly associated with war veterans.
But children living in Philadelphia’s most violent neighborhoods are showing signs of it, too.
Today, the US attorney in Philadelphia held a forum on the traumatic impact of violence.
Hundreds of professionals in the criminal justice, education, and social services fields attended the gathering, titled “Essentials of Trauma-Informed Care.”
Among the speakers was Dr. Sandra Bloom, co-director of the Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice (at right in photo below), part of the school of public health at Drexel University.
