Understanding and Managing Toxic Stress

Stress can manifest in many ways and have a plethora of developmental, physical, and behavioral outcomes. Prolonged exposure to toxic stress can have adverse effects on children, caregivers, and families. Children and youth who encounter the child welfare system are more likely to encounter toxic stress from the compounding traumas they face when navigating such complex systems.
