For Educators + Community Leaders
Be the Change: Reaching Youth Before It's Too Late
Paula Jauch knows firsthand the impact of childhood trauma—though she didn’t recognize it at the time. By age 15, she had become what society often labels a statistic—pregnant, self-harming, and involved in a gang. Today, nearly 25% of American children experience at least one traumatic event by age 16, significantly affecting their ability to learn and their behavior in school. This powerful presentation highlights the vital role educators and community leaders play in shaping a young person’s future. You will gain practical insights on how to:
- Cultivate genuine connections that encourage trust and healing
- Help students break free from self-destructive cycles
- Empower youth to recognize their potential and embrace a brighter future
Together, we can be the difference between a young person becoming a statistic or a success!
