Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma

Call For Papers

Journal of Child & Adolescent Trauma is a peer-reviewed journal with a primary mission of serving as a resource for mental health professionals and scientists. The focus is prevention, assessment, and treatment of child and adolescent trauma, loss, and related issues. Since trauma and loss are potentially related to many child and adolescent issues, the scope is broad.
