"Abused children ‘re-traumatised’ by support services"

A report by mental health charity YoungMinds has found that children who have been neglected, abused, bereaved or faced prejudice are often let down by services designed to support them.
The report, Beyond Adversity, shows that one in three adult mental health problems stem from "adverse childhood experiences" – including abuse, neglect, taking on adult responsibilities, prejudice and bereavement.  

But young people who suffered this type of trauma may communicate their feelings by being aggressive, self-destructive, withdrawn or highly sexualised, they are often treated as “the problem”, the report states. 
This means there is a risk that the cause of their trauma is never addressed and they don’t receive the mental health care they need.
