Abstract

African-American boys’ exposure to traumatic stressors such as racism is often overlooked by professionals. This presentation will examine the impact of trauma on African-American boys and how school mental-health professionals can address the social-emotional, behavioral, and educational needs of this group. The impact of trauma related to racism and violence, implications for educators, and recommendations for trauma-informed practices that help to create safe school environments for African-American boys will be presented.
