Trauma Talks is a 16-part series designed to educate prison residents about childhood trauma, showing them tools to help calm their nervous systems, reduce prison aggression, find resilience and become productive members of society upon their return. Acknowledging and addressing our experiences of childhood trauma teaches us how these experiences can affect our emotions, behaviors, thoughts, relationships, stability, and health.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\tRead More \u00bb\t\t<\/a>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t
