Overview
Children who have experienced trauma can also experience a range of emotions and physical reactions, and as a consequence, their voices often become silent through interactions with other adults or institutions. Helping children to find their voice is among the most significant and important work that any practitioner can do as this enables understanding and healing from trauma.
Practitioners through all sectors, roles and professions can contribute to prevention and early intervention strategies by noticing and dealing with the effects of self-blame and secrecy.
