Childhood trauma, such as violent, dangerous, or life-threatening events, often elicit fear responses and can violate emotional and bodily integrity. Time-limited or single incidents such as car accidents or natural disasters (e.g., floods or earthquakes) can be detrimental to a childs mental well-being. Ongoing stress, such as living in a violent neighborhood, witnessing a war, being a refugee, having abusive or emotionally unavailable parents, or being bullied in school, can take a major psychological toll on children.
