A traumatic event can be difficult for a child to understand and process, and it can be challenging for parents and carers trying to support them. Children may experience flashbacks, panic, avoidance, sleep disturbances, fear or changes in how they respond to the world. While PTSD is a specific clinically diagnosed condition, children can experience trauma symptoms without an official diagnosis. This film offers practical, compassionate guidance to help parents understand their child's response to trauma and know what they can do to support them.
