About Summer Book Group: Trauma and Vulnerable Children

You're Invited: Summer Book Club on Trauma & Vulnerable Children
 Featuring What Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey & Dr. Bruce Perry

Join us this summer for a meaningful book club exploring the impact of trauma on children—especially those in foster care and vulnerable family situations.

We’ll be reading What Happened to You? Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing, a compassionate and eye-opening dialogue between Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry. This book shifts the question from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”—a critical perspective when caring for or supporting children from hard places.

Why join?
  • Deepen your understanding of trauma and how it shapes behavior
  • Learn practical ways to respond with empathy and care
  • Connect with others who are passionate about supporting children and families
  • Encourage and equip those involved in fostering or serving on Care Teams
Book Club Details:
  Start Date: June 25
  Location: Northbridge, MA
  Meeting Frequency: Once a month, June-September
  Time: 7-8:30pm
  Open to all—whether you're a foster parent, Care Team member, or simply want to learn more

We believe that understanding trauma is key to helping children heal and thrive. We hope you’ll join us for this important and inspiring conversation.
