CASA to host public Childhood Trauma Learning session May 24

More than two-thirds of children reported at least one traumatic event in their lives by age sixteen.

Trauma can be caused by many things including abuse, neglect, experiencing a natural disaster like the recent fires in our area, loss of home or family, bullying, separation from or the death of a loved one, and witnessing domestic violence.
