Culture and Trauma

Cultural awareness, responsiveness, and understanding need to be infused throughout every level of an organization to be most effective in addressing the needs of children who have experienced trauma. This section of the NCTSN website offers resources related to disparities in mental health care, racial justice and trauma, cultural and linguistic competency and trauma, and more. Some resources are available in Spanish.
