The impact of trauma

Children 1st works with children, young people and families in our abuse and trauma recovery services. Our aim is to ensure that the impact of trauma and the need for recovery services is recognised at a local and national level. It is also vital that survivors’ experiences are heard, recognised, and responded to appropriately.
