A straightforward, jargon-free book that draws on educational and psychological theory, first-hand experience and a series of interactive case studies to explore how we can become better parents and educators of our teens when faced with trauma.

Teens themselves may also want to read this book with an adult because the book engages the reader visually and also with “discussion” questions which are specifically targeting teens and the adults around them.  This book hopes to promote discussion and communication between teens and their parents/carers and teachers.

Trauma and Teens aims to create increased therapeutic and empathetic understanding of adolescents and their traumas.

  • PART 1 - Addresses four types of trauma – acute, chronic, complex, and historic or transgenerational – through a series of case studies. The author uses the voice of the teen, the voice of the parent or carer and the voice of the educator to present each case in detail, complete with suggested interventions.
  • PART 2 - Focuses on simplifying therapeutic concepts such as attachment theory and the stages of grief.
  • PART 3 - Offers strategies for ongoing management in the form of a ‘trauma toolbox’. This comprises grounding techniques for calming down or boosting energy, advice for self-care via good sleep and nutrition, and guidance for enabling troubled young people to feel secure, open up and begin the healing process by cultivating an attitude of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy).
