Trauma, ADHD and Child Protection

Trauma, ADHD and Child Protection
Laura Hanbury
ADHD is an increasingly common diagnosis, and is far more prevalent among children in care than the general population.
The symptoms of ADHD intersect significantly with trauma responses, and it can be challenging for child protection professionals to form a full picture of a child's challenges and needs. For example, is a child's a lack of focus arising from ADHD symptoms, or hypervigilant burnout? Is a child's defiant behaviour caused by emotional dysregulation or a defensive trauma response? Understanding the roots of a child's behaviour leads to better assessments, support and interventions.
This book will provide the information and practice guidance you need to navigate this complex terrain.
