Safe & Trusted Caregivers
Without appropriate intervention, the impact of complex trauma can cascade into lifelong struggles, diminishing a child’s potential to live a healthy life. Early, consistent support from trusted adults can significantly reduce these effects. Intervening in a child’s life by providing safe, stable, and nurturing relationships is the most effective way to mitigate the effects of complex trauma. Caregivers who are emotionally healthy and well-equipped create an environment where healing can begin.

Protection from Exploitation
