Trauma and mental health in children and youth: Student Eleenor Abraham publishes in Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy

This study, conducted with a community sample of children and youth, examined mental health concerns associated with exposure to relatively 'low' levels of interpersonal and/or accidental trauma. Our investigation demonstrates that although the prevalence of trauma is lower among children and youth in the general community compared with high-risk samples, the negative impact of these trauma experiences on their anxiety and mood remain significant.
