The high cost of childhood trauma

Elizabeth Prewitt PACEsConnection writer 7/1/144:00 AM

In California's Tulare County, violence, drug abuse and sex offenses occur at alarmingly high rates. For young children in troubled families, the experience of such traumas can lead to poor academic performance, mental health problems, and higher crime rates. They often don't get the help they need.

This story is part of a series about mental health care in Tulare County. It was produced as a project for The California Endowment Health Journalism Fellowship, a program of USC's Annenberg School of Journalism. Other parts of the series can be found here:
