The National Child Traumatic Stress Network

You know my love for reading always affords opportunities for me to stumble upon literature, resources, and “ah ha’s” that I love to share. When you have a moment, take a peak at this article written by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network in relation to a child’s exposure to domestic violence. I was so taken back by the percentage of children that are exposed to this type of trauma and the social cues often missed.

Another key take away for me where the resources ! What is better than knowing where to find the answer- sharing the resource of course!
