In part one of this occasional series, Windows Into Health Care, health reporter Kara Lofton talks with Crittenton Services CEO and President Kathy Szafran on the issue of Trauma and Poverty.
Szafran outlines work Crittenton is doing to provide trauma-informed elementary schools – exploring ways to break the cycle of trauma by working with both kids and their families and provide insight into the effect trauma can have on the developing brain.
Windows Into Health Care, hosted by Kara Lofton, is an occasional series featuring health professionals around the state who work in important, but little known aspects of health care.
If you’d like to share your own idea for a topic or interviewee, please email Kara at klofton@wvpublic.org or send her a Tweet @KaraLofton.
