NSPCC: Childhood trauma and the brain

NSPCC Learning has published a news story highlighting new resources to help bridge the gap between neuroscience and frontline practice. The resources are based on research carried out by University College London (UCL) looking at how children’s brains adapt to abusive or neglectful environments in ways that help in the short term but increase risk of mental health problems in the future. The resources include an animation, guidebook and set of videos about childhood trauma and brain development.
