Background: In recognition of the serious impact that trauma can have on children’s mental health, Congress authorized the development of programs focusing on psychological trauma response and the development of knowledge in evidence-based practices for treating trauma-related psychiatric disorders of children and youth. The target populations for this initiative are children who are abused, witness family or community violence, lose a family member, experience serious medical problems, experience war zone or displacement trauma, or endure natural and human caused disasters or terrorism. Traumatic events often involve a life-threat, severe physical injury, threat to psychological control or physical or psychological integrity, loss of a primary caretaker, or loss of one’s community or social environment. Effects of trauma can include emotional problems such as depression, anxiety, and chronic or impulsive outbursts of anger; suicide attempts; behavior problems such as antisocial behavior and substance abuse; cognitive and motivational distortions including hopelessness, chronic shame, or guilt; learning and academic problems resulting from learning, memory, and attention difficulties; and interpersonal problems. Intervention in the aftermath of trauma is perhaps the most significant clinical issue in child and adolescent mental health. Of particular concern for receipt of intervention services are children in child service systems with high rates of trauma exposures such as the child welfare and child protective services systems, the juvenile justice system, hospitals and emergency clinics, child rehabilitation services, and service systems for refugee children. |
