Discover the hidden costs of trauma and why addressing them is not just a moral imperative but an economic necessity. 

In the first of a three-part series, recorded as a live webinar in May for Mental Health Awareness month, we uncover the prevalence of trauma and its far-reaching costs—not just financial, but impacting our communities on a deep level and offering an example of what is possible when we prioritize healing and resilience.

We start by discussing the $14.1 trillion annual economic burden of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and then move on to talking about the systemic barriers that perpetuate trauma, particularly in marginalized communities. Hear how historical and intergenerational trauma affect mental health, education, and the juvenile justice system, and why implicit biases and discriminatory policies still haunt people of color and women. 

Don't miss this insightful episode that underscores the urgent need for systemic change and the power of resilience in overcoming trauma.
