Creating a world that nurtures and protects children and young people following trauma

More than one in three children and young people are exposed to at least one potentially traumatic event by age 18. The right support can make a substantial difference to the extent that traumatic events impact on their lives.

The UK Trauma Council (UKTC) creates evidence-based resources to improve professionals and carers’ understanding of the nature and impact of trauma. We aim to better equip all those supporting children and young people exposed to trauma.
