What is one word you use to describe trauma?
There was a child went forth every day, And the first object looked upon . And that object became part of him for the day or a certain part of the day, or for many years or stretching cycles of years. -Walt Whitman
Prevalence By the time they reach college, 66 to 85 percent of youth report lifetime traumatic event exposure, with many reporting multiple exposures (Read et al., 2011; Smyth et al., 2008) As many as 50 percent of college students are exposed to a PTE in just the first year of college (Galatzer-Levy et al., 2012) Female college students with a history of sexual trauma are at higher risk for repeated trauma (Griffin & Read, 2012)
Prevalence Trauma increases susceptibility to depression, and trauma symptoms are more likely to co-occur with depression symptoms (K lp l., 2003; O D ll, C , & P , 2004; Rytwinski et al ., 2013) 68% of children and adolescents had experienced a potentially traumatic event by age 16 (Copeland, Keeler, Angold, & Costello, 2007) .
Prevalence 26% of children in the United States will witness or experience a traumatic event before they turn four (National Center for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention, 2012) 1 in 6 children ages 2-8 had a diagnosed mental, behavioral, or developmental disorder. (Cree et al., 2016). The majority of youth in juvenile detention have been exposed to 6 or more traumatic incidents by the time they are detained; the average number of exposures for detained youth is 14 (Abram et al., 2004)
