iCAN e-pamphlets development
Background
The first theme the 'Global Collaboration onTraumatic Stress' decided to focus on was on the impact childhood abuse and neglect in adults. One of first priorities identified was the need to create easily accessible information in several languages for adults who have experienced childhood trauma around the world.
Methods
The e-pamphlet has been created by the representatives of the 8 traumatic stress societies to offer brief, relevant information to adults with childhood traumatic experiences.
The group collected guidelines worldwide, providing the basis for a synthesized core guide for prevention and treatment that can be customized for specific cultural contexts. It was decided to do this in the form of e-pamphlets, resulting ‘Internet information on Childhood Abuse and Neglect’ (iCAN).
This e-pamphlet will help understand what childhood trauma is, what are its possible effects, what one can do to help yourself, and how to get help from others. This information does not replace advice by a professional clinician or a national legislative body. Please seek support when reading this material if it triggers unpleasant feelings.
Output
e-Pamphlets in nine languages
We are currently also investigating the use of a novel online survey methodology assessing childhood trauma history called the Childhood Attachment and Relational Trauma Screen (CARTS) in several different languages and cultures. Click here to find out more.
