​DID YOU EXPERIENCE CHILDHOOD TRAUMA?   IS YOUR CHILD EXPERIENCING CHILDHOOD TRAUMA?
​
The body and the brain do not forget trauma.  Childhood trauma affects emotional, mental and physical health across a lifetime. It is not something you just get over as you grow up. Pediatrician Nadine Burke Harris explains that the repeated stress of abuse, neglect and parents struggling with mental health or substance abuse issues has real, tangible effects on the development of the brain and the lifetime effects. The effects of trauma unfolds across a lifetime, to the point where those who have experienced high levels of trauma are at high risk for developing health illnesses and emotional struggles.
