What is Childhood Trauma?

Childhood trauma refers to experiences of highly distressing or adverse events that occur during childhood. These events can be physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, witnessing violence, or the loss of a loved one, among others.

• Experiencing unwanted sexual contact or exploitation during childhood
• Witnessing horrific natural disaster and major accident during childhood
• Lack of adequate care, supervision, or emotional support from caregivers
