Children Overcoming Trauma

Nancy Spargo, CEO and Co-founder of the St. Louis Center for Family Development, and Emily Phillips, Mental Health Professional for the St. Louis Center for Family Development, speak about how adults can help children recover from a traumatic experience. They share how asking "What happened?" instead of "What's wrong?" takes the event outside the child's domain and presents it as an external event that affects him or her, but is not the child's fault.
