How does childhood trauma impact child/adult development? This is a heavy topic, but I believe that it is important. Mental health and healing from trauma are topics that I’m very passionate about, and I want to learn more about them. Experiencing trauma at a young age can impact people in various different ways throughout the courses of their lives, and that is something that I wish to have a better understanding of. No child deserves to go through traumatic experiences, but it’s a reality that many children unfortunately face, and I think it is something our society has to be more aware of. Trauma is something that stays with you forever. While healing is definitely possible, trauma is something that is life changing, and I want to learn more about the ways it can affect people as they grow and develop into adolescents. While researching this topic, I hope more people will also have a better understanding of trauma and also understand the importance of empathy in our society!

Hi Shalia,
This is a really cool inquiry question to research and I myself have thought about this topic many times. I think many of the problems people have as adults may have developed while they were children, and I believe you are very right to say this topic is extremely important.
These are some websites that may help with your research!
