How I Grew Up, Black in America 
Counteractive Trauma Workbook

How I Grew Up, BLACK in America “Counteractive Trauma Workbook” is designed to help readers analyze their thinking in relation to the decisions we face and the potential outcomes of the choices we make. This workbook correlates with How I Grew Up, BLACK in America “The Many Colors of S-Dot” , self-help narrative that depicts the life of its author.

Each chapter of the novel is accompanied by a principle-based learning lesson in this workbook pertaining to the Educational, Environmental and Institutional trauma we face early in life. We strongly suggest that this Counteractive Trauma Workbook be used only as one goes through the novel associated with this work.

Based on an interdisciplinary model, these resources were created to help individuals and groups recognize our personal trauma and triggers that we commonly overlook. We educate minds and dedicating spirits, that liberate communities. This work exposes and analyzes some of the common risk factors that lead to the perpetuation of crime, acts of violence, incarceration and ultimately death.

This course works to improve the social, emotional and environmental state of vulnerable individuals and families who have been affected by death, devastation and the effects of incarceration. In vision, this course was developed to see those who’ve faced trauma now, living safe, respectable and self-sustaining lives.

Here, we have an opportunity to self-assess our perspective of the adverse childhood experiences that many in our society face from day to day. Trauma, abuse, intimidation, belonging, discipline, biases, loss, and neglect are just some of the topics covered in these literary works.

In this way, education, dedication, and liberation are the principles on which these interdisciplinary studies were founded and co-missioned to operate in conjunction with the needs of social, educational and institutional service entities. Established to penetrate the hearts and inspire the minds towards self-betterment.

How I Grew Up
Black in America

Audiobook

Trauma is a problem because it can affect memory, cognition, attention, and abilities to organize and process information. It can also disrupt schooling and increase absences.

However, the variations in the types and degrees of trauma and in the resilience of those who experience trauma are so great as to make outcomes unpredictable. In other words, even severe trauma won’t necessarily hamper someone’s learning.

There is so much individual variation both in the traumatic events and in students that one cannot be sure whose learning will be disrupted.

Auditory learning means that a student learns most effectively by listening. They would prefer listening to a lecture over reading a textbook, or hearing the instructions for a project instead of figuring it out hands-on.

Students who prefer auditory learning over tactile or visual will be focused on listening instead of seeing, reading, or physically trying in order to learn.

Auditory learners like to hear things in order to process the information best, which is often a good option for classroom learning.
