Trauma-informed care is child abuse prevention. Learn more during #ChildAbusePreventionMonth www.AAP.org/TIC

To end the epidemic of violence in the United States, boys and men of all ages need pathways to safety and healing. This includes the 1.1 million men currently in prison. Many of them are parents, and virtually all of them will come home. Nearly two out of every three incarcerated or formerly incarcerated men we surveyed experienced childhood trauma. While being the target of, or witnessing abuse were most common, parental neglect - especially a lack of attention and affection - were just as harmful as physical violence. Men described feeling as if they were invisible to the adults in their lives, and feeling ashamed and emotionally detached from a very young age. These interviews remind us that men who lash out are often deeply wounded themselves. But even more importantly, many of these men are also living examples of the power of healing and transformation, and actively working to rewrite decades of old patterns in their own lives and relationships with family and children.
