[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think any additional funding would go a long way if it was used to help end generational trauma by providing expecting parents with the tools and support necessary to raise a child in a manner that will allow for financial stability and the education one needs to raise a child in a trauma-free home. Once a child is of school age (even 3 in DC), it is unfortunately most often too late to undo the damage caused by a family that has suffered from discipline in the form of abuse and the trauma growing up in a home struggling to make ends meet.[/quote]

Meh.  We've been doing what you suggest for about 6 or 7 generations now in the District of Columbia.  It does. not. matter.

I don’t think you know what a generation is. Unless you’re suggesting that we’ve been supporting low income families with mental health supports since ~1870[/quote]

The age gap between parent/child in the District of Columbia is often 15 years.  Not rare at all.  6 x 15 = 90, 2022-90 = 1932.

Have we been holding parenting classes since 1932 in an effort to end "generational trauma"? No, you got me there.  But have we been throwing money at the problem via transfer payments, welfare, housing, jobs programs, Head Start, WIC, TANF, food stamps, Job Corps etc etc etc for almost that long? Yes, yes we have. [/quote]
