Description

In this 10-minute film we hear from young people who witnessed the Grenfell tragedy about their experience of trauma. Our experts Dr Sian Williams and Dr David Trickey explain how the traumatic experience can affect the brain and the body. The experience of chronic and complex trauma in early life can have a lasting impact on an individual’s development and personality. However, with the right help, young children can be supported to make sense of distressing experiences, and any negative impact of these experiences on their life chances can be reduced.
