Episode 15 - July 23, 2020

Writer's picture: Maryland Pyramid ModelMaryland Pyramid Model

Our team is back this week with the 15th video in our series. In this episode, recognizing that the field of infant and early childhood mental health was built to address inequities for our youngest parents, families and children – we are continuing to delve into the data that grounds this work and looking at another section of the report recently published by the Children’s Defense Fund on The State of America’s Children 2020 – the impact of gun violence. The data here is startling and sad, and leads again, to significant disparities in health, income and outcomes for children and families across our country.

Here is the full brief of the Children’s Defense Fund’s 2020 Report https://www.childrensdefense.org/policy/resources/soac-2020-tables/ and more information the startling impact on the youngest in our communities due to gun violence in their streets, homes and classrooms published by the advocacy group “Every Town For Gun Safety” https://everytownresearch.org/impact-gun-violence-american-children-teens/.


Please reach out to piec@ssw.umaryland.edu (or in a comment below) with any questions, and share your resources as it relates to understanding and addressing racism and bias for our most at risk families, and our youngest students and clients. Please also use the comments to share any innovating things happening in your community to protect our communities and children from gun violence.

Be well and be in touch!
