Summary:
In this episode of Kids at Risk Podcast, hosts Emma and Michael discuss the staggering economic and societal costs of untreated childhood trauma, which exceed $12 trillion annually in the U.S.—more than half of the country’s GDP. They explore the far-reaching effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), including higher healthcare costs, increased rates of high school dropouts, crime, and incarceration. Despite overwhelming evidence, the system continues to fail vulnerable children, leading to generational cycles of trauma and its costly consequences. The hosts stress the need for trauma-informed care, early intervention, and policy changes that prioritize prevention over punishment to break the cycle and save lives. They urge listeners to advocate for child welfare and support organizations working to make a difference.
