Over the past decade, researchers have identified a strong association with low vitamin D levels and increased risk for asthma development and exacerbation among children and adults.

Why isn’t it a problem for most of us?...

Although there is limited research on the causes behind this increase, we do know that this population has many unique protective factors that can help peers, providers, and parents’ opportunities to help youth at risk....

Why do we need to ask, “What has happened to your child?” AND “What has happened to you?” Because everyone’s experiences matter. Children’s Experiences Matter Trauma-focused care has become popular over the past few years, significantly changing how we understand mental health. Specifically, trauma-informed care has focused on how past experiences explain all behavior, not just the “bad” behaviors. The issue that this has created is that sometimes people don’t feel like their child has experienced a “trauma,” but are still frustrated with their bad behaviors....
