Colleagues,
According to the National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect, in 1997 child
protective agencies investigated the alleged maltreatment of more than 3 million children.
Unfortunately, as practitioners we see the long-term consequences of child abuse in our
offices and clinics every day. Today's newsletter focuses on this important issue.

Some common traumatic experiences include being physically attacked, being in a serious accident, being in combat, being sexually assaulted, and being in a fire or a disaster like a hurricane or a tornado. After traumatic experiences, people may have problems that they didn't have before the event.
