Perry, M.D., Ph.D., Provincial Medical Director in Children’s Mental Health for the Alberta Mental Health Board and Senior Fellow of the ChildTrauma Academy in Houston. This article includes several characteristics and problems common to children that have experienced abuse or neglect, and offers suggestions for parents and caregivers on how to talk with their children and help them move beyond the trauma in their past.
