Podcast

Post Traumatic Society is on a mission to raise awareness of the critical impact of childhood trauma and its far-reaching effects on society. We highlight research that shows childhood trauma, commonly termed “Adverse Childhood Experiences” by researchers, is connected to educational outcomes, health outcomes, interaction with the criminal justice system, and essentially every aspect of life. In this podcast, Macey Miller speaks with professionals in the realms of trauma, education, social work, psychology, and policymaking on how we can incorporate trauma-informed practice into society.
