Child Trauma

Child trauma refers to the experience of an emotionally painful or distressing event by a child, which often results in lasting mental and physical effects. It can stem from various situations, including abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, natural disasters, and accidents, and can significantly impact a child's brain development, learning abilities, and relationships. The primary demographic affected by child trauma includes children who have been exposed to highly stressful or traumatic events, necessitating early intervention and support for recovery.
