Few of us understand the lifelong impact trauma has on a child and fewer still the depth and scope of generational child abuse in America today.  This KARA page provides videos, blogs, books, basic statistics, stories & information about critical child abuse elements that you & your friends and neighbors need to know for trauma & abuse to be reduced in your own community. Share it widely.
