Abstract
About the title: Combat vets and survivors of wars and natural disasters aren’t the only people susceptible to PTSD. Too many of our children, especially children of color living in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty, show the effects of unrelenting structural racism, street violence, domestic instability and other adversities. And their symptoms look a lot like post-traumatic stress disorder. Except for many, there is no “post.”
Traveling to Philadelphia and Oakland, this episode chronicles the stories of children shaken by violence and adversity and asks not, “What’s wrong with you?” but rather “What happened to you?” and, “How can traumatized children and neighborhoods heal?”
About the series: The Raising of America, by the producers of Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick? and Race - The Power of an Illusion, is an ambitious documentary series, online learning hub and public engagement campaign which aims to reframe the way Americans look at early child health and development. It illustrates how a strong start for all our kids leads not only to better learning, earning, and physical and mental health but also to a healthier, safer, better educated, more prosperous nation.
