Author Patricia Wilcox has written the essential guide to trauma informed care with at risk youth. Wilcox provides a foundational understanding of trauma s impact on the developing brain, then details its implications for treatment, the promotion of pro-social behaviors, and improving the culture among clients and staff. Incorporating the key concepts of compassionate understanding, validation, skill teaching, and the primacy of trustworthy relationships for healing trauma and rebuilding connections in the child s brain, Wilcox tackles some of the most difficult challenges in treatment settings with practical approaches grounded in theory and research. This book is an invaluable resource for parents, social workers, childcare staff, therapists, agency administrators, and anyone who cares about how kids are treated when they need skillful, trauma-informed care.

This remarkable and inspiring book has the potential to radically change child mental health treatment (and parenting) for children with challenging behaviors and histories of trauma. Integrating current research with practicality, compassion, and ethics, Wilcox presents a compelling case for "Traum-Informed Treatment: the Restorative Approach" as a best practice in trauma-informed child treatment. --Karen W.
