Link for Equity
About
Link for Equity is a culturally responsive system of support for children impacted by adverse childhood experiences.
Intervening on adverse childhood experiences, which include racial discrimination, is a promising approach to reducing school violence among students of color.
The goal of this study is to adapt, implement and evaluate a culturally responsive program of trauma-informed care for ACE-impacted children in 6 racially/ethnically diverse middle schools from Minnesota. We will determine if Link for Equity can effectively prevent school violence by:
reducing teachers’ racial discrimination,
increasing teacher-student connectedness and
reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder
