This book is subtitled A Guide to Providing Understanding and Help, and allows both lay and professional readers to engage with a jargon-free explanation of the impact of trauma on the emotional and mental health of children and teenagers. An understanding of trauma and the provision of models of intervention now underpin the work of specialist residential providers, therapists and child and adolescent mental health services teams, and the range of models and their application to this subject is vast.

Other themes include the importance of building resilience; the therapeutic use of friends; using therapeutic groups; and applying these within schools.
