The term ‘trauma’ is used to represent the broad range of traumatic, abusive or neglectful experiences that people can experience or be subjected to during their lives. Traumatic events have been defined as “an event, a series of events or a set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or life-threatening”.
This Good Practice Points resource (GPP) looks at the specific trauma that families with children with learning disabilities have and how they can be supported.
