Childhood Trauma



I am beginning to develop a project seeking to offer therapeutic intervention 
to children who have been traumatised by a variety of different incidents, 
but not due to Sexual & Physical abuse. Without wanting in any way to suggest 
that there are sufficient services for such children, there does seem to be 
something of a gap in provision for children who have been traumatised by:

Suicide of a parent/carer
Accident causing loss of mobility, sight, etc.
Acts of extreme violence witnessed outside the home (Violent robbery/extreme 
public disorder)

I am interested in links with Post Traumatic Stress Condition

I know that this is a vast and somewhat diverse area but would be interested 
in comments, reading, etc.

Thanks
