The Difference Between Childhood Trauma and Childhood PTSD
What’s the difference between childhood trauma and childhood PTSD? That’s a question frequently asked by parents, teachers, and medical professionals who work with children. Distinguishing the difference between childhood trauma and childhood PTSD is also crucial for anyone working with and caring for children.
That’s why the question is addressed in the second episode of my PTSD in kids series at Rising Above Ministry (RAM). This episode also explains how the terminology about childhood trauma and childhood PTSD is changing and evolving as more is learned about it. To watch the video, click on Defining Childhood Trauma and Childhood PTSD.
