experience serious adversity, we have a shared responsibility to buffer the impact. There are many approaches to doing this, but all work from the basic idea that adding positive supports can counterbalance the weight of negative experiences. While it&#8217;s always better to prevent adversity from happening in the first place, we can&#8217;t always do that. That&#8217;s why we need our systems to be prepared to respond when harmful events do occur. <\/p>\n<figure itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/marylandefc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/MEC-Icons_v3_protect.svg\" alt=\"Social norms icon with people and text messages\" height=\"281\" width=\"281\" title=\"MEC-Icons_v3_\u12ed\u12a8\u120b\u12a8\u1209\u1362\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t<\/figure>\n\t<h2>\u12c8\u1323\u1276\u127d\u1295 \u12e8\u121a\u1320\u1265\u1241 \u121b\u1205\u1260\u122b\u12ca \u12f0\u1295\u1266\u127d\u1295 \u12eb\u1235\u1270\u12cb\u12cd\u1241\u1362<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<p>Witnessing or experiencing violence can be especially harmful to young people, yet it&#8217;s common to encounter images and attitudes that suggest it&#8217;s no big deal.
