AD“In this community, our families begin to normalize the unhealthy responses [to trauma],” Abu-Bakr said. She previously worked at Bright Beginnings, too, as a family advocate, a person who manages individual cases. Part of Abu-Bakr’s job is making sure the entire Bright Beginnings organization recognizes trauma. Bright Beginnings also provides something you might not expect at a typical preschool: individual and group therapy.
