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 physical abuse, which occurs when the parent or caregiver commits an act that causes physical injury to a child or adolescent, even if it was unintentional. The NCTSN includes the extensive effects on children experiencing physical abuse. Physically abused children may have difficulty developing friendships, blame themselves for the abuse, become aggressive, or have other behavioral problems. While aggression is common, many reactions exist, and some children show little or none. In addition to the effects, the website also provides interventions and resources to help children who have been victims of physical abuse.
