The inequalities faced by some young people can cause significant trauma, leading to difficulties at school. I’m so proud that

When a young person experiences trauma, their emotional age might be halted that can cause emotional arrested development . Higher parts of the brain are underdeveloped, lower overdeveloped/over sensitive.🧠🌱
