childhood trauma

Developmental trauma impacts the physical development of a child’s brain, affecting their mental health and more. But there are ways to help deal with it.

Parents are posting videos of their kids trying a Snapchat filter that makes them think a a huge spider is crawling on their face—and it's hard to watch.

As a kids’ book author, I’ve travelled all over Canada, talking about the history of FNMI people and the residential school system. I’ve witnessed the impact of the trauma firsthand. Many kids share that their families don’t talk about their experiences. The shame of their abuse still haunts them.

The evidence is piling up: we need a drastically different approach to parenting, teaching and healthcare for kids who've experienced trauma.

We all want to protect our kids from scary situations, but sometimes there’s no way to avoid an emergency.
