Despite the beauty and ingenuity of Baltimore, many inhabitants of this city are affected by post-traumatic stress resulting from adverse childhood events such as physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, gun violence, and substance abuse, to name a few. Research suggests a strong correlation between these adverse events and negative physical and behavioral outcomes into adulthood. A survey conducted by the census bureau reported that 42% of adults in Baltimore had experienced at least three or more adverse childhood events. That is a lot of trauma!
Healing the Community – Baltimore Healing City Summit 2022
Hi Everyone! It’s your girl Wavee Goddess, and I wanted to share a little blog about my experience in participating in Baltimore City’s Healing City Summit 2022. This year we were honored to participate in this impactful event , which was held both virtually and in-person during the first week of March. The in-person portion of the event was held at Coppin State University. Wavee Goddess Holistics was honored to be a part of such an event, as healing is our business! We take pride in providing tools and information to the public to assist with healing trauma. Many big organizations and small businesses were in attendance, including GBMC (Greater Baltimore Medical Center), Gilchrist Hospice, barbers, beauty salons, fitness enthusiasts, and wellness advocates, to name a few. There was also a guest appearance by the Orioles mascot, cotton candy, popcorn, and an exceptional dance performance by the youth.
