Listen to @TCC_Laura talk with Carlynn Nichols, our Chief Clinical Officer about why we created "Crisis to Connection: An Imperative for Our Black Boys." https://bit.ly/1234567 #TCCRealTalk PLS Share

Detroit is re-emerging as a city of opportunity, unless you’re a Black boy.

Our Black boys are in crisis. We know because we’ve been working with Black boys, and Detroit children for more than 90 years. Black boys are disproportionately affected by implicit bias, racism, and a lack of trauma-informed community support systems. They experience trauma at a much higher rate than their white counterparts. This disparity creates unimaginable challenges and keeps them from living their dreams and becoming the amazing people they were born to be.

Without effective, trauma-informed interventions, Black boys in Detroit are more likely receive in-school suspensions, out-of-school suspensions, and expulsions. More likely to not graduate high school. More likely to be incarcerated. These aren’t bad boys. They’re traumatized boys.

The Children’s Center is dedicated to changing this all-too-common narrative for our Black boys. Connecting them and their families to trauma-informed community supports, so they can live their dreams.

That’s why The Children's Center created the Crisis to Connection Imperative. Together with community partners, we will address the systems and structures that impact the lives of Black boys in Detroit. This imperative is designed in three phases over six years.

Listen in as Laura talks with Carlynn Nichols, Chief Clinical Officer at The Children's Center in Detroit talk about this critically important initiative.
