Abstract
Many American children live lives filled with trauma. According to the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative (2020), more than two thirds of children will experience some form of trauma by the age of 16, and 26% of children will be exposed to trauma by age 4 (Negrini I Trauma across the lifespan, 2016). Childhood trauma exposure is a significant public health crisis often resulting in psychological and physical health consequences across the life span. Yet every child is an individual. The residual effects of trauma appear to exist on a continuum. While many trauma-exposed children exhibit concerning symptoms, others with similar experiences appear relatively unscathed (Jaffee SR Dev Psychopathol 19:631–647, 2007). It is estimated that up to 15% of trauma-exposed children appear asymptomatic, whereas others develop life-altering symptoms or consequences (Werner E, Smith R Journeys from childhood to midlife: risk, resilience, and recovery. Cornell University Press, 2001). What is the explanation for this phenomenon? Resiliency has been suggested to explain this variation in pathology expression among trauma-exposed children (Hornor G, J Pediatr Health Care 31:384–390, 2017). This chapter will describe resilience in children experiencing trauma while exploring research and evidence-based interventions to enhance resilience in children who have experienced trauma.
