Learn more about our work to build trauma-informed systems of care in Connecticut, including the Early Childhood Trauma Collaborative.
This IMPACT provides a summary of the research on the effects of early trauma exposure, discusses what Connecticut is doing across systems to support young children who have experienced trauma, and outlines a framework to expand Connecticut's robust system of trauma-informed care for older children to include younger children.
In this brief video, IMPACT report authors Jason Lang, Kellie Randall, and Alysse Loomis discuss the effects of trauma in young children and how Connecticut is working to address early childhood trauma at a systems level.
