Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health changes lives – by unlocking and nurturing human potential for people living with emotional, behavioral or cognitive differences.
Focusing on trauma: Take Devereux’s pledge to promote social/emotional health in children
Through your gift, you are contributing to our mission to unlock and nurture human potential in people living with emotional, behavioral or cognitive differences.
National data shows that at least 38 percent of children in every state have had at least one Adverse Childhood Experience, such as the death or incarceration of a parent, witnessing or being a victim of violence, or living with someone who has been suicidal or had a drug or alcohol problem.
This month, the Devereux Center of Resilient Children invites everyone to embrace our shared role in promoting healthy early childhood development by taking its online pledge to promote the resilience of all children, and to learn more about the negative impacts of childhood trauma, as well as the need for trauma-informed practices.
The mission of the Devereux Center for Resilient Children is to promote social and emotional development, foster resilience and build skills for school and life success in children birth to school-age, as well as to promote the resilience of the adults who care for them.
Click here to take our pledge to: 1) generate awareness of childhood trauma, and 2) encourage resilience in all children! And click here to learn more about the pledge.
