About

The National Child Traumatic Stress Network provides resources for primary care providers to help them understand and support children who have experienced trauma. It describes how refugee children may face unique challenges and stresses the importance of recognizing signs of trauma in young patients. The network offers guidance on how to create a safe environment for these children and suggests ways to communicate effectively with them. By using these resources, healthcare providers can better support the mental health needs of traumatized children, helping them heal and thrive in their communities.
