Featured Podcast: Trauma

Experiencing trauma can have lasting effects on children, but with the right support, healing is possible. In this episode, Clinical Psychologist Catherine Gallagher and Child & Family Psychologist Sam MacGibbon explain what trauma is, how to recognize its impact on children, and how families can provide a safe and supportive environment. They also discuss how parents can navigate their own trauma while supporting their child, and the role of schools and professionals in helping children recover.
