Videos & a tip sheet that can help.
Trauma and toxic stress are complicated and look different in everyone. Sometimes we might not even realize what we are seeing in a young person is related to trauma.
As experts in positive youth development, at Girls Inc. we want to help you gain an understanding of trauma and toxic stress. We also hope to assist you in building skills to support the young people in your lives who may be experiencing stressors brought on by COVID-19, the burdens of racism, or any other ongoing difficulty or adversity. With the support of Lockheed Martin, we have created a straightforward, easy-to-understand collection of videos and infographics.
As a caring adult, you too can help support young people impacted by trauma or toxic stress. Learn how to recognize the signs and how best to respond in order to support the young people in your life.
