Featured update
What is Complex Trauma?
Complex trauma describes repeated or ongoing experiences of abuse, violence or neglect, and the effects these experiences can have. The experiences can occur at any age, or across different ages.
The good news is that people can and do recover from the impacts of complex trauma.
