Why is 14-year-old David struggling to survive in one of the wealthiest countries on earth? In a traumatized and traumatizing society, our children and families face a bleak reality devoid of essential services for surviving, let alone thriving. Through the story of fourteen-year-old David, we explore how many of our vulnerable young people and parents are falling through the cracks in rural and urban America. Change agents and authors Dr. Katherine Ortega Courtney and Dominic Cappello give you the insights and resources to prevent adverse childhood experiences and trauma. The team's 100% Community model, described in the book, is a tested framework for ensuring the vital service for surviving and thriving. David, Age 14 serves as a beacon for youth advocates seeking to revitalize their communities, fostering environments where every child and student can thrive. This book is for caring and courageous people wondering, "How do we fix a society that's failing its families?" Visionary social innovator Dr. Katherine Ortega Courtney, and New York Times bestselling author and change agent, Dominic Cappello, are creators of the revolutionary 100% Community Model, the nation's premier data-driven plan to address critical public health, safety, and education challenges at the county and state levels. Their groundbreaking data-driven and technology-enhanced strategy offers a bold path to improve systems of support that ensure trauma-free childhoods, families, schools, and communities. Readers will leave these pages inspired to engage with a plan of action.
