Complex Trauma, video sponsored by Spokane County Community Network 2009

Complex trauma is the unpredictable and chronic exposure to a cluster of events, most often within a child's care-giving system, that is intended to be a child's primary source of safety and stability.
A child's exposure to harmful experiences directly correlates with reduced ability to focus and learn in school, as well as with increased rates of crime, drug and alcohol abuse, and abusive relationships.
