Child and Adolescent Trauma

Child and adolescent trauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact experienced by young people after facing distressing events such as abuse, neglect, violence, or disasters. These events can disrupt their sense of safety, trust, and stability, affecting their development and daily functioning. Trauma may result in symptoms like anxiety, difficulty concentrating, mood swings, or withdrawal. Recognizing and addressing trauma early through supportive therapy and safe environments is crucial to help young individuals heal, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills for the future.
