Is your child struggling to cope with a loss or trauma? Although loss and change are inevitable parts of life, some children find such events overwhelming and in some cases they can become traumatised by them.
This essential guide provides evidence-informed advice for parents about how to support your children when they encounter difficulties with bereavement and trauma. Research has indicated that children are less likely to develop problems such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) if they are provided with the appropriate support and opportunities to talk about difficult events and their impact on them.
