To promote both healthy development and positive educational outcomes for youth, youth-serving professionals, community leaders, and policymakers are increasingly infusing trauma-informed practice into their efforts to serve young people in schools and in the broader community.  \nThis brief offers a framework for how trauma-informed practice complements positive youth development, while illustrating the bridge between theory and practice. You’ll read about the work of two specific communities—one in Oregon and one in Missouri—which are engaged in collaborative, on-the-ground efforts to make healthy schools that support all young people the norm and not the exception. These communities serve as an inspiration to others across the country as they lead the way in creating healthier school environments where every child can thrive.  \nYouth Development: A Strengths-Based View  \nTrauma refers to an adverse experience or pattern of experiences that overwhelms a person’s internal capacity to cope and contributes to a feeling of powerlessness.1 Adverse events can be acute (such as the loss of a loved one), or chronic (such as living with a parent with severe mental illness).2 These experiences can translate into lasting effects on an individual’s physical, emotional or psychological well-being.3,4,5  \nA hallmark of the Every School Healthy campaign’s approach is that core partners and acceleration sites embrace a positive youth development perspective. This shared understanding of how young people grow and develop informs the design of their interventions. Positive youth development (PYD) emphasizes that all youth have strengths and the potential for educational, vocational, and overall life success. Trauma-informed practice complements this view and is similarly grounded in the potential of all youth to thrive, given the right supports.  \nFrom a PYD perspective, no single factor or experience predetermines a young person’s life outcomes. Rather, development arises from the interplay between person and context and through the promotion of individual assets.6 Each young person grows up in constant relationship with people, places, and social forces that make up their life, their ecology or their developmental system. These relationships are dynamic and mutually influential. The embedded and cumulative nature of these person-context relationships creates what we have termed a developmental youth system7 A supportive youth system occurs when the assets and resources available in a young person’s system are aligned with their individual strengthsand needs.  \nDecrease in negative behavior  \nIncrease  \nin indicators of thriving  \nThe impacts of trauma are pervasive and can contribute to misalignment among the relationships, needs, and strengths ina young person’s youth system. Interventions that buffer the impacts of trauma and promote healing from trauma involve saturating a young person’s system with a wealth of supports and nurturing relationships. Research has shown that while such an approach has unique applications for individuals who experience trauma and those dealing with significant adversity, it also reflects principles that have been shown to be universally beneficial for all young people.8,9,10 At a broad level, therefore, trauma-informed practices:  \n• Are grounded in understanding the whole child, recognizing that the experiences of a young person in one developmental setting reverberate across other settings.  \n• Focus on building positive, caring relationships as a means to mitigate the effects of trauma.  \n• Target multiple developmental domains—addressing the social, physical, emotional, and cognitive impacts of trauma—rather than just one distinct dimension of devel","cbCaivH4tbi9Pshq","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivH4tbi9Pshq","pdf",5256682,16,"English","# Overview\n## Youth Development: A Strengths-Based View\n## Adversity and Trauma: Intersecting Effects\n## The Pair of ACES","[{\"question\":\"What does trauma-informed practice aim to improve for young people?\",\"answer\":\"It promotes healthy development and positive educational outcomes by buffering trauma impacts and supporting healing through nurturing relationships and a wealth of supports across a young person’s system.\"},{\"question\":\"How does positive youth development relate to trauma-informed practice?\",\"answer\":\"Positive youth development emphasizes that youth have strengths and potential for success.
