Childhood  Trauma  Treatment  Services  

We’ve  all  seen  the  headlines….  

Some  have  asked…    

how  could  that  have  happened?  

but  we  asked…  

How  Can  We  Help?  

Childhood  Trauma  –  a  prevalent    problem            in  the  US…  

! In  fact,  nearly  61%  of  males  and  51%  of  females  ages  12  to  24    report  more  than  one  trauma;c  event.        (Kessler et al., 1995)

! Up  to  93%  in  the  youth  jus;ce  system  experience  trauma.  

(Fairbank, Putnam, & Harris, 2007) (Finkelhor et al., 2005)

Each year, among US children ages 2-17

1/3

50%

Half experiences physical assault

12.5%

1 in 8 is maltreated (child abuse, neglect)

8.3%

1 in 12 is sexually victimized

33.3%

1 in 3 witnesses violence

With  long-­‐term  affects  on  health  According  to  the  Adverse  Childhood  Experience  Study  (ACE),  children  who  experience  childhood  trauma  are  at  a  greater  risk  of  having  serious  adult  health  problems:  

4x to 12x more likely to abuse alcohol or drugs

2x to 4x more likely to smoke, have an STD or

poor health

1.4x more likely to be severely obese

They also are at greater risk of having serious heath problems including cancer, heart disease, depression and a higher risk for unintended pregnancy.

These  outcomes  ARE  avoidable…      

And  there’s  one  place  for  exceptional  treatment  in  the  Greater  Cincinnati  area…
