The theme
of the conference session reported in this booklet was the impact
of community violence on infants, toddlers, their parents, and practitioners
in education. The booklet contains the edited transcript of the
session, which included presentations by three speakers. Clementine
Barfield described the impact of urban violence on her family and
on the children with whom she works in Detroit, Michigan. The loss
of her son through violence led her to found the organization Save
Our Sons And Daughters (SOSAD), a project that engages in crisis
intervention and violence prevention and provides support groups
for those who are affected by violence. Elizabeth M. Simpson, a
social worker, discussed the work of the PALS program, which was
devised by the school district of East Oakland, California. This
program delivers therapy, counseling, and tutoring services in two
elementary schools. Some of the symptoms caused by a violent event
were reviewed. Betsy McAlister Groves, also a social worker, reviewed
work that she and her colleagues at Boston (Massachusetts) City
Hospital have been doing concerning young children's exposure to
violence. The insights and reflections of these speakers suggest
that there is much that can be done to address the impact of violence.
