The National Child Traumatic Stress Network

Parents and caregivers can play a very important role in helping children and adolescents recover from their traumatic experiences. They may feel isolated in their efforts, but they are not alone. Other families have faced similar experiences, and professionals have developed effective ways to help children and families recover from trauma. The resources offered through these pages will help you learn not only about child traumatic stress but about a child's healthy development and ways to seek help.
