I am reposting this excellent post from Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint
This post says it all!!
”Trauma is in fact a “physical injury” to the brain. Studies show childhood trauma has lifelong impact on both mental and physical health.
This is info we all need to carry with us into our advocacy because we must disabuse schools and legislators of the notion that trauma isn’t a physical injury.
Trauma does permanent physiological damage to the brain. The brain is the most vital organ in the human body. Hence, damage done to the most vital organ in the body is indeed a “physical injury.”
Some states have banned restraints that “impede breathing.” What about restraints that impede the ability for a developing brain to function properly when exposed to persistent primal fight, flight, or freeze reactions?
Think about it.
