child trauma

Child trauma refers to the emotional and psychological impact that occurs when a child experiences distressing events, such as abuse, neglect, loss, or violence. These experiences can overwhelm a child's ability to cope and disrupt their normal development. Trauma can lead to lasting effects on mental health, behavior, and relationships. Symptoms may include anxiety, depression, difficulties in school, and challenges in forming healthy relationships. Understanding and addressing child trauma is crucial for fostering resilience and healing, enabling affected children to thrive despite their past experiences. Early intervention and support can make a significant difference in recovery.
