New school, old school, & the importance of language
I remember my enthusiasm when I first stumbled upon the ACEs study…In my eagerness to learn as much as I could about the emerging trauma-informed movement, I brought this topic up to as many people as I could to learn more. In one of those conversations, something that a colleague with a school-based mental health background said really struck me: “None of this is new--we have been talking about these concepts in school-based mental health for decades. It’s just new language.”
