Parenting Impacted By Trauma

Trauma can affect anyone at any time and when it happens, many of us often aren't when it happens, many of us often aren't prepared. Trauma can range from a one-off event or an ongoing challenging situation such as domestic abuse, mental or physical illness, angry break-ups etc.

These can impact on child development and wellbeing and can hinder the parent's ability to be fully emotionally available. These conversation cards are for professionals to help the child and parent to begin talking, and exploring the reasons underpinning behaviours and attitudes.
