“…Trauma, as defined by a person's subjective assignment of meaning, can result from a variety of experiences, and the impact of these experiences can be conceptualized as stemming from a single event (i.e., simple trauma) or multiple events (i.e., complex trauma) up to clusters of repeated traumas termed adverse childhood experiences. Simple trauma, meaning exposure to individual traumatic experiences, has been examined in terms of economic stress (Blitz, Anderson, & Saastamoinen, 2016), racial stress (Jernigan & Daniel, 2010), violence (Luthra et al, 2009), bullying (Carney, 2008), hurricanes (Hebert & Ballard, 2007), war (Burnham & Hooper, 2008), and sexual abuse (Brown, Brack & Mullis, 2008), and strategies for addressing these isolated stress sources have been discussed (e.g., Blitz et al, 2016;Cohen & Mannarino, 2008;Coker, Ikpe, Brooks, Page, & Sobell, 2014;Gudiño, Leonard, & Cloitre, 2016;Openshaw, 2011). Additional insights have been developed relative to complex trauma, which results from severe, co-occurring, or recurring trauma events that occur within the caregiver system or with another trusted adult beginning in childhood or adolescence (Lawson & Quinn, 2013).…”
