Abuse & Neglect

Trauma, Abuse & Neglect In Children

Abuse & Neglect

The effects of abuse and neglect affect each child differently. While the effects can be severe and long-lasting, children who have been abused or exposed to violence can and do go on to have healthy and productive childhoods and adult lives. Children are resilient, and being able to discuss and guide our children through a recovery process is crucial to their success. It is often the first step towards healing.

"Children are likely to live up to what you believe of them."

- Lady Bird Johnson
