Complex Traumatic Exposures • Aggregate data on 1,699 children served across 25 sites within the National Child Traumatic Stress Network reveals that 78% of these children have been exposed to multiple and/or prolonged trauma. • Spinazzola, Ford, van der Kolk, et al. (2003)
What is “Complex Trauma”? • Dual Definition: • Exposure to multiple traumatic events, frequently within a caregiving system that is supposed to be the source of safety and stability • Impact of those events, across domains of development, on both immediate and long-term outcomes
