Abstract
Chapter 7 delves into long-term adversity and trauma. Martin Teicher explains how childhood maltreatment affects the developing brain and what that means for resilience and recovery. Amanda Sheffield Morris describes a new model to mitigate the effects of trauma. Angela Diaz presents troubling data about the extent of sexual abuse among girls, while Rebecca Epstein argues for rethinking the ways in which girls-especially girls of color-are victimized by systems that should be on their side. The chapter closes with an example of using technology to confront trauma. Bob Filbin, co-founder of the Crisis Text Line, describes how texting can help users find a wellspring of resilience in moments of crisis.
