In this podcast, we will explore the impact of trauma on youth and communities affected by violence. We'll discuss how exposure to violence can lead to long-term mental health consequences, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression, and examine the ways in which systemic racism and poverty can exacerbate these issues. Our guests will include mental health professionals, trauma survivors, and community leader, Dr. Kenneth Davis, who will share their insights on the importance of trauma-informed care, community-based support networks, and advocacy for policies that address the root causes of violence.

We will discuss police reform and accountability in the context of youth violence. We'll explore the history of policing in communities of color and examine the ways in which police interactions with youth can contribute to violence and trauma. Our guests will include police officers, youth advocates, and legal experts who will share their perspectives on the role of law enforcement in preventing and addressing youth violence, as well as the need for reforms that prioritize community-based solutions, transparency, and accountability.
