According to SAMHSA, more than two-thirds of children reported at least one traumatic event by age 16. Traumatic experiences for children leave a legacy of reminders that can persist for years and elicit various responses. Those working with traumatized children must consider presenting and comorbid mental health issues, epigenetics, and implementing developmentally appropriate interventions.\u202fChildhood Trauma, Epigenetics, Mental Health and Treatment 2.0\u202fwill help Mental Health Professionals understand the etiology of children\u2019s challenges, build an awareness of the effect of epigenetics, and recognize the foundations of lifespan mental health challenges.<\/p>\n
