Abstract:
Adolescents exposed to violence, including violence within their own communities, are at increased risk for a number of difficulties, including post-traumatic stress. This violence may include people they know, imposing a dual burden of post-traumatic stress and grief. Adapting an intervention program they designed for survivors of the Armenia earthquake and war-exposed secondary students in Bosnia, Dr. Saltzman and colleagues examine the results when applied to inner-city youth who have experienced violence within their community.

Youth are often exposed to trauma. At times, this trauma is well known (such as a car accident), at other times it is unseen (such as domestic violence). The impact of these traumas can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder and have an effect on an adolescent's functioning in society as well as in school.
