Trauma has unfortunately become an all-too familiar occurrence in the lives of children, with a majority of youth experiencing a traumatic event before the age of 18. With the rise of school shootings and recent March for Our Lives, this timely book will address intervention strategies for social workers and counselors to combat this negative phenomenon. Urban Youth Trauma focuses on urban violence and guns, while due attention is also paid to other forms of trauma in order to ground violence-related trauma within the constellation of multiple forms of trauma. Violence, and more specifically that related to guns, is very much associated with urban centers and youth of color. Divided into three parts, this volume traces the roots of urban youth trauma. Parts I and II provide context and foundation for the problem and intervention strategies. Part III takes the reader through a variety of intervention strategies directly related to the community’s assets. The strength of Urban Youth Trauma’s lies in its focus on the community itself as the key to survival, resilience, and change.

Integrated analysis of the data determined distinct processes related to community violence. The path of resiliency tended to lead youth towards trauma recovery; while the other risk-oriented path tended to lead towards complex trauma and increased violence involvement.

Urban violence, poverty, and racial injustice are ongoing sources of traumatic stress that affect the physical, emotional and cognitive development and well-being of millions of children each year. Growing attention is therefore directed toward the study of child trauma and incorporation of trauma-sensitive practices within schools. Currently such practices focus on social and emotional learning for all children, with some in-school therapeutic approaches, and outside referrals for serious trauma. There is inadequate attention to racial injustice as an adverse childhood experience (ACE) confronting Black males among other youth of color. Although there are guidelines for trauma-sensitive approaches, few are culturally responsive. And it is now critical that educators consider the traumatic impacts of a dual pandemic (covid-19 and racism) on children and their education. This timely book thus serves to inform and inspire transformative healing and empowerment among traumatized children and youth in pandemic/post-pandemic school and after-school settings. The reader will learn about trauma through actual experiences. Researchers and practitioners present approaches to healing that can be adapted to local situations and settings. The book consists of four parts: Youth Voices on Traumatic Experience; Trauma-focused Research; Culturally Responsive and Trauma Sensitive Practices; and Where do we go from Here? Suggestions for Next Steps. Each part contains a set of themed chapters and closes with a youth- authored poetic expression. The book is especially designed for those working in urban education. However, anyone whose work is related to traumatized children and youth will find the book informative, especially in a post-pandemic educational environment.

Abstract: Violence has taken the lives of many young people in Boston and has left many other youth traumatized. However, rarely have the youth been asked what they need to heal and move forward with life. The purpose of this project was to create a healing intervention model to give traumatized youth a forum in which they could express their pain and engage in a healing process. The qualitative methodology used focus groups, various methods of creative expression and individual interviews. A final evaluation proved the effectiveness of this intervention model and the need for pastoral aftercare. The findings showed that black churches must partner with professional services organizations due to their lack of resources to meet the needs of trauma victims.

Addressing the social problems associated with trauma and mental health amongst African Americans in urban environments, this book uses an African-centered lens to critique the most common practice models and interventions currently employed by social workers in the field. Divided into four parts and grounded in traditional African cultural values, it argues that basic key values in a new clinical model for mental health diagnosis are: A spiritual component Collective/group approach Focus on wholeness Oneness with Nature Emphasis on truth, justice, balance, harmony, reciprocity, righteousness, and order Being free from racism, sexism, classism, and other forms of oppression, this African-centered approach is crucial for working with people of African origin who experience daily "trauma" through adverse living conditions. This book will be key reading on any practice and direct service course at both BSW and MSW level and will be a useful supplement on clinical courses as well as those aimed at working with diverse populations and those living in urban environments.

It's easy to look down at urban communities and wonder why economic and social disparities still exist when so many people of color, despite facing severe adversity, have done better. They have broken the "cycle."

High impact practices are evidence-based educational practices that have been shown to increase student learning and raise levels of performance, retention, and success. The circle--commonly known as a discussion circle--is a key high impact practice linked to positive outcomes for urban youth. Circles are effective tools for enhancing communication, promoting emotional support and healing, and encouraging problem-solving and creativity. In High Impact Practices with Urban Youth--Circles at the Center: A Guidebook for Practitioners and Scholar-Activists, Yan Dominic Searcy and Troy Harden provide research-based best practices in an accessible format to bridge the gap between practitioners and researchers who are specifically working to improve the life outcomes of urban youth. Targeted to assist front-line practitioners, program directors, and those training to be practitioners, this book reflects Searcy and Harden's combined over five decades of work with urban youth and imparts high impact practices to influence interventions and program design. Each chapter begins with a brief narrative from a discussion circle, reflective of the authors' interactions with youth or program staff that is germane to a high impact practice. The best youth work combines art and science, emotion and skill. High Impact Practices with Urban Youth effectively blends both to ground the next generation of interventions aimed at improving youth program outcomes whether the programs are targeting juvenile justice, health promotion, education, sports, leadership, or mentoring.
