Year in Review: Examining Trauma through an Equity Lens
Guttman-Lapin, Danielle
Communique, v50 n8 p4, 6 Jun 2022
In recent years, more and more information has emerged about the high prevalence and impact of childhood trauma. In response to many calls for more work and more resources on how best to support trauma-exposed youth, the National Association of School Psychologists (NASP) Social Justice Committee selected this topic as its programmatic focus for the current school year. The purpose of this selection was to conceptualize trauma through an equity lens as NASP works with adults and youth amid ongoing societal and global challenges (i.e., COVID-19 pandemic, systemic racism, polarized sociopolitical atmosphere). Writing teams facilitated by the Social Justice Committee generated four articles to address different facets of trauma within school psychology practice. To promote diverse perspectives, these articles were written collaboratively by graduate students, early career practitioners, and seasoned scholars in the field. This article serves as a refresher of the works that scholars in the field produced throughout the year in the "Communiqué" series. It concludes with a brief introduction to the theme moving into next academic year.
