Infographics, Videos, and Reports to Understand Childhood Trauma

Share On Social!

More than 2 in 3 kids report at least one traumatic event by age 16.

It’s even worse among Latino kids. In fact, 28.7% of Latino kids have experienced four or more traumatic experiences.

The impact of childhood trauma can last well beyond childhood.

In order to suspend judgement and help children heal, it is important to recognize the signs of traumatic stress and understand the short- and long-term impacts.
