Description
The National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) published information regarding childhood trauma. The NCTSN defines trauma as an event a child is involved in or witnesses and is intensively threatened by it. One type of trauma the NCTSN recognizes is complex trauma, and this describes children’s exposure to multiple traumatic events and the various long-term effects of this exposure. The events children experience are severe and pervasive and typically occur early in life. Additionally, these events disrupt aspects of the child’s development, the formation of a sense of self, and the ability to form a secure attachment. Other common effects of complex trauma include difficulty managing emotions, dissociation, struggle with self-regulation, and difficulty with problem-solving. In addition to the impact of trauma, the NCTSN website provides screening and assessment tools, interventions, and various other resources concerning complex trauma.
