This briefing is an introduction to trauma research for practitioners working with young people whose experiences (either earlier in their childhood and/or in the present) may lead to complex traumatic responses across the lifespan. The focus is on older adolescents and young adults (c. 17-25 year olds) but the messages have some application for younger teens. Given the large body of literature on trauma, the briefing provides a broad introduction, with a focus on helping frontline staff to work more effectively.
