Children’s experiences of family violence
Dana Shen, Rosie Schellen and Daniel MossExposure to family violence and traumatic events has long-lasting effects. Children’s brains and bodies are malleable, making trauma faster to manifest, affecting the way children react and relate to others and their physical environment. This fact sheet adapted from Tucci et. al. provides information about the effects of family violence on a child’s social and emotional wellbeing, and ways that interventions can play a role in healing. -
