As an assistant editor in the Photography department at the New York Times, the author manages a team of seven visual editors who assign photographers to stories all over the globe. Recently, one of her team members approached her to let her know that the amount of violence he was subjected to was having an effect on his mental state. It made the author wonder: If journalists struggle with the current state of affairs, how are children coping? How is the Montessori community dealing with trauma? The author reached out to Colleen Wilkinson, a director at Montessori Country Day School, in Houston, Texas, and an expert in trauma-informed education, to provide insight into how Montessori can play a role in helping children and teens who experience trauma. The interview, focusing on trauma in a global pandemic, is presented in this article.
