This study looked at how children and their caregivers report children’s experiences of trauma and PTSD symptoms. Researchers wanted to know whose reports—child or parent—better reflect what’s happening in the child’s brain and body. The results showed that children’s own reports matched their brain and body responses better than their caregivers’ reports. This suggests that children’s perspectives give important and unique information about how trauma affects them, and that their voices should be included in both research and clinical assessments.

DTP’s Director, Dr. Tanja Jovanovic, is interviewed for the podcast ‘Minds on the Frontline’ as part of the Frontline Strong Together 5 Program. FST5 provides streamlined access to behavioral and mental health services, as well as crisis resources for Michigan’s frontline workers and their families.
