Childhood trauma includes events such as experiencing maltreatment (physical, sexual and emotional abuse), witnessing domestic violence, community violence, abandonment, neglect, loss of a loved one, discrimination, and bullying.
Typically, these events are associated with intense feelings of fear, helplessness, loss of control and shame.
As many as two thirds of children experience a traumatic event prior to age 16, and many children exposed to one traumatic event have also been exposed to additional adverse experiences.
Approximately 85% of children involved in the child welfare system have been exposed to a traumatic event.Traumatic experiences can produce physical, psychological and emotional reactions that last a lifetime.
Exposure to a traumatic event can interfere with brain development for children and youth, and it is a risk factor for a number of potentially maladaptive outcomes including emotional, cognitive, behavioural, and social impairment.
Without the appropriate intervention, traumatic childhood experiences can result in significant and enduring adult mental health problems.
