Cartoon analysis. (New York Times Upfront)

Medicating relational trauma in youth: children who have experienced relational trauma present a host of problems and are often diagnosed with psychiatric disorders and then medicated. But there is evidence that commonly used drugs interfere with oxytocin or vasopressin, the human trust and bonding hormones. Thus, psychotropic drugs may impair interpersonal relationships and impede forming a therapeutic alliance.(Report) (Reclaiming Children and Youth)

The relationship trauma crisis: delinquency is strongly correlated with disruptions in positive interpersonal connections. Traditional approaches in juvenile justice only exacerbate this disconnection. Promising approaches strengthen bonds with youth and positive adults and peers in their community.(justice alerts)(Report) (Reclaiming Children and Youth)

Science discovers the reclaiming approach: pioneers in reclaiming youth sought to build relationships and environments that responded to the needs of "wayward youth." Now, neuroscience and trauma research show the primacy of human connections in assessment, treatment, and youth development.(the development audit) (Reclaiming Children and Youth)

The three pillars of trauma-informed care: all who interact with traumatized children in home, school, and community can make important contributions to healing and growth. This care involves actions to strengthen three pillars: safety, connections, and managing emotional impulses. (Reclaiming Children and Youth)

The restorative justice center: an alternative to school detention. (Reclaiming Children and Youth)

The power of community: a Pennsylvania alternative school using restorative practices is operated by the Community Service Foundation/Buxmont Academy (CFS Buxmont). A student faces traumatic life challenges with the help of group problem-solving with supportive peers.(Reprint) (Reclaiming Children and Youth)

This limited focus ignores broader qualitative studies showing that interpersonal relationships wield more impact than technique.(relationship beachheads)(Essay) (Reclaiming Children and Youth)
