Facing Teen Trauma
Teen trauma can be healed only once it is faced. Know that you are not alone in the struggle.
Teen trauma is not rare. In a recent study, 61 percent of teens (ages 13 to 17) had been exposed to at least one traumatic event in their lifetime. 19 percent had experienced three or more such events.
When you consider the challenging lives of teenagers, these numbers are not surprising. Adolescence is a time of transitions and growth. Furthermore, teens are being exposed to the world on a larger scale. This exposure happens as they mature and take steps toward adulthood.
