Overview
Too many children have been exposed to crime, abuse, and violence in their homes, schools, and communities. These experiences can lead to serious, long-term problems.
Early identification, intervention, and treatment are key. The Federal Government has a responsibility to act, but our efforts cannot succeed without local law enforcement, child and family services, community leaders, educators, coaches, and parents. Everyone plays a role in identifying, protecting, and treating children exposed to violence.
The videos in this series compel all of us to join our neighbors and the growing ranks of professionals who have made it their life’s work to help traumatized children heal and thrive.
Introduction
Violence and trauma can have serious and long-lasting consequences for children’s physical and mental health, and the cost to families, communities, and the Nation is staggering. Victims lend their voices to this video to provide first-hand accounts of how their exposure to violence as children affected them.
