I am a foster parent to three refugee children from Burma. I would like to find resources to help them address their own traumatic events. Where do I start?
Dr Judith Cohen:
Some resources are available on the National Child Traumatic Stress Network website at www.nctsn.org including information about different treatment approaches that may be helpful for refugee and immigrant children, a white paper that describes the many challenges facing these children, and information about various other types of traumas that they may have experienced. You may also receive information about trauma specialty providers in your area.
