According to a publication of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families Administration on Children, Youth and Families Children’s Bureau, Chronic or repeated trauma may result in toxic stress that interferes with normal child development and cause long-term harm to children’s physical, social, emotional, or spiritual well-being. These adverse effects can include changes in a child’s emotional responses; ability to think, learn, and concentrate; impulse control; self-image; attachments to caregivers; and relationships with others. Across the life span, traumatic experiences have been linked to a wide range of problems, including addiction, depression and anxiety, and risk-taking behavior—these in turn can lead to a greater likelihood of chronic ill health: obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and even early death. We need all professionals who work with children, families and communities to be trauma-informed and able to better address the impact of adverse childhood experiences to help prevent and to respond appropriately to the many ways trauma impacts them.  There are many professional who have little or no training around trauma and why it is such a big deal.
