Description
Explores the impact of traumatic life events on children, including the significant risk for developing serious and long-lasting problems across multiple areas of development. Provides information about how children are far more likely to exhibit resilience to childhood trauma when child-serving programs, institutions, and service systems understand the impact of childhood trauma, share common ways to talk and think about trauma, and thoroughly integrate effective practices and policies to address it—an approach often referred to as trauma-informed care. Presents the four Rs of trauma-informed-care: Realize, Recognize, Respond, and Resist Re-traumatization.
