An overview of childhood traumatic exposures and their impact for
health care providers - child and adolescent psychiatrists, general
psychiatrists, other pediatric behavioral health providers and
primary care clinicians - is presented. Most clinicians are unaware
that children in the United States are exposed to trauma
frequently, either as a single occurrence, or through repeated
events. These exposures result in neurobiological, developmental
and clinical sequelae that can undermine children's health and
well-being. This issue describes the multiple types of traumatic
exposures and their sequelae, methods of screening and assessment,
and principles of effective prevention and clinical treatment. The
volume highlights areas of particular relevance to children, such
as natural disasters, war, domestic violence, school and community
violence, sexual victimization, and complex trauma. Each is
differentiated as a unique trauma, requiring trauma-informed
systems of care to effectively meet the needs of the exposed
population. Since traumatic exposure results in added risk to child
well-being, the third section of the volume describes strategies
for primary prevention (e.g. violence prevention) and risk
mitigation (e.g. skill and resilience building strategies), as well
as reviews evidence based treatments for trauma-induced clinical
disorders.
