Happy book birthday to TRAUMA PROOF by Benjamin Perks! A rallying call to address child trauma as the public health crisis it is—because we can do better for kids, and we should. tinyurl.com/66fu77zs

Unaddressed #ChildTrauma is a major risk factor for democratic dysfunction

Child maltreatment is our costliest & yet least discussed public health crisis. #TraumaProof argues we are the first generation in history with the knowledge to prevent it a.co/d/1r9uKrY

My first signing event for #TraumaProof couldn’t be anywhere else but UN Headquarters in New York at the bookshop! Kindly hosted by Under-Secretary-General Melissa Fleming 🇺🇳 & in conversation on the theme with global director of child protection Sheema SenGupta

You’re not indecisive. You’re not “too nice.” You’re stuck in a trauma loop of people-pleasing and overthinking. It’s not your personality. It’s your nervous system replaying old survival scripts. Here’s the truth—(most therapists won't tell you) 🧵

Benjamin Perks raised in an English orphanage, now Head of Advocacy for UNICEF in New York. In Trauma Proof, he explores healing from childhood trauma & argues '...pain caused by child trauma is not just an individual, it is a societal catastrophe. But it doesn’t need to be.'

“Optimism is not necessarily seeing the glass as half full; rather, it is the confidence that you can take the glass to the sink and fill it yourself.” Meg Selig

Unpopular view: People who have been through terrible things should be the ones to tell you if they consider themselves a "victim". You shouldn't be able to control their narrative.

Almost everything we spend on helping children self-regulate comes when its already too late. #TraumaProof

On #Ange, I was In & then Out. But seeing him get #THFC to Shake It All About in #Bilbao, I am definitely #AngeIn again. #COYS #TTID #Spurs are no longer #Spursy!

It took decades to create a world where global collaboration dramatically reduced-and endeavored to end-child hunger & disease. It’s current unraveling is an unprecedented disaster by choice, with the known potential consequnces akin to the worst atrocities of history.

On any given day, a quarter of a million of the world's children are detained. data.unicef.org/resources/chil…
