The Importance of the Early Childhood Years: Research into the Effects on Our Futures

Abstract

"According to a study done on childhood trauma by The National Survey of Children’s Health, about half of the nation’s children, over 32 million, have experienced at least one traumatic event. My research offers an explanation of what the education, social work, and leadership disciplines can offer when exploring childhood trauma and it’s lifelong effects. My research also explains the importance of unifying the knowledge gathered by the various disciplines."
