Childhood Trauma:  a working definition

“Trauma happens when any experience stuns us like a bolt out of the blue; it overwhelms us, leaving us altered and disconnected from our bodies.

 Any coping mechanisms we may have had are undermined and we feel utterly helpless and hopeless.  It is as if our legs are knocked out from under us.

…the younger the child, the more likely she is to be overwhelmed by common occurrences that might not affect an older child or adult”.

Peter A. Levine and Maggie Kline

Impacts of Childhood Trauma Overview (A) :   physical, mental and social health impacts

.

 

Overview (Training) from CDC:

We All Have a Role in Preventing ACEs

Adverse childhood experiences—commonly known as ACEs—affect children and families across all communities. ACEs can impact kids’ health and well-being, and they can have long-term effects on adults’ health and wellness. They can even have consequences that affect entire families, communities, and our whole society. Thankfully, ACEs are preventable.

This training will help you understand, recognize, and prevent ACEs. You’ll learn about risk and protective factors, outcomes associated with ACEs, and evidence-based strategies you can use to reduce or eliminate the impact of ACEs and stop them from occurring in the first place.

Brain Architecture and how it develops

http://developingchild.harvard.edu/science/key-concepts/brain-architecture/

.

“Toxic Stress”:   disrupts the development of brain architecture

Center on the  Developing Child, Harvard University

“when a child experiences strong, frequent, and/or prolonged adversity—such as physical or emotional abuse, chronic neglect, caregiver substance abuse or mental illness, exposure to violence, and/or the accumulated burdens of family economic hardship—without adequate adult support. This kind of prolonged activation of the stress response systems can disrupt the development of brain architecture and other organ systems, and increase the risk for stress-related disease and cognitive impairment, well into the adult years.”

.

Brain Development and “Executive Function” skills

“A number of studies have shown that exposure to highly stressful early environments is associated with deficits in the development of children’s working memory, attention, and inhibitory control skills.  Damaging fear and toxic stress are likely mechanisms that explain these effects, in part, because they affect the chemistry of brain circuits involved in the development of these capacities, and they impair the specific neuronal architecture that is engaged when we try to keep information in working memory, inhibit a habitual action, or address problems in a flexible manner.”

13.  “Trauma-Informed” definitions, principles and practices:

.

What is “Trauma-Informed” ?  Working Definition:

  .

A program, organization, or system that is “trauma-informed”  realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for recovery; recognizes the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, families, staff, and others involved with the system; and responds by fully integrating knowledge about trauma into policies, procedures, and practices, and seeks to actively resist re-traumatization

(SAMHSA’s Concept of a Trauma-Informed Approach)

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation.

Literature Review:  Trauma-Sensitive daycare, 0-8 years

“Childcare centres, preschools and schools are designed to provide children with safe environments to learn, grow and develop.

Unfortunately many children arrive carrying an overwhelming burden, which if not understood and managed, impairs their capacity to learn and to benefit from the rich possibilities that the environment can provide. “

Historical trauma (NCTSN series)

“Responses to trauma are often mediated by culture and history, a reality which should inform the delivery of mental health services for all culturally diverse groups.”

“… multigenerational trauma affects individual and familial response to trauma and loss. In practice, clinicians must be mindful that the pain children experience may be related to the pain that their parents, grandparents, and ancestors experienced”
