Child Trauma is a peer-reviewed journal with a primary mission of serving as a data-informed practical resource for mental health professionals. 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.

The journal is explicitly geared to practitioners and as such has a preference for ecologically valid research (of real-world practice settings, clients, and interventions). The journal publishes general and special-topic issues featuring research reports, research-for-practice summaries, commentary, case studies, brief literature reviews, and comparative reviews of web sites, books, and other resources for practitioners. Child Trauma is published four times annually in March, June, September, and December.
