Can children heal from childhood trauma?

Children can heal from the effects of trauma and toxic stress if they develop healthy relationships with caring, reliable, safe, compassionate adults who guide them through the healing process. This includes helping children build resilience (the ability to respond to the challenges of life) and empathy (the ability to understand and share the feelings of others.) Resilience and empathy are developed over time by providing the child with opportunities to build mastery and develop effective strategies for managing stressors and adversity.
