Brief Program Description
The presentation defines complex trauma and looks at it from the lens of a child who experienced multiple instances of trauma across numerous settings but also had exposure to several protective factors. The presentation explores national and state data regarding abuse and neglect, ACE’s and how complex trauma changes a child's view of the world often leading to the development of poor coping skills, difficulty managing emotions and having difficulty imagining their lives ever being better. The presentation concludes with the idea that having a high ACE score does not “doom” a child to poor lifelong outcomes.
