Trauma

Trauma exposure in children and adolescents can have significant impacts on mental health, potentially leading to conditions such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Early identification and intervention are crucial, as untreated childhood trauma can have long-lasting effects on development and functioning. Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that has shown effectiveness in addressing trauma-related symptoms in children and adolescents.
