Summary

The purpose of the study is to use existing school resources and improve identification, referral and local support for children that exhibit exposure to childhood trauma resulting from environmental violence in Belize City. The Ministry of Education has identified the goals of the project to reduce violent behaviors in primary school children and supporting those children that have been exposed to violence or other malicious behavior that would inhibit normal school functioning. In addition, the MOE is supporting additional resources and data collection for a comprehensive evaluation of student behavior and academic performance.
