Ginwright argues that schools need to switch to a more healing approach. In he article it is explained that children's mental and physical health should be viewed in a new way. Often young people are being treated for their trauma instead of being seen as a whole person. In reality we are not defined by our trauma. We may need to acknowledge our trauma but it should be our main focus to healing. Focusing in on it can cause more harm than good. Youth need to see that trauma isn't what defines you but you move past it not by dwelling on it. In the article it says that we should focus on what is right with us rather than what went wrong. Ginwright gives examples on how to encourage this change in the youth through his article.
