Adult Consequences of Childhood Trauma

Lerically Speaking

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.”

- Frederick Douglass

Childhood trauma isn’t something you just get over as you grow up. The long-term exposure to 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. These effects continue into adulthood. This episode is a "MUST" for educators and community workers who work with children and for adults who have grown up on traumatic environments. Learn about how Adverse Childhood Experiences impact brain development and effects life choices, and learn about some resources that can help you to learn how to support children of trauma (as children and as adults).
