For many immediate and extended families, divorce can be one of the most challenging and traumatic experiences they face. Alongside the added stress, children may experience feelings of loss, anger, confusion, and anxiety as they navigate the transition into their new way of life with their parents living apart. It is not unusual for divorce to leave children feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained during the separation and for years to come. May is designated as National Trauma Awareness Month (NTAM) by the American Trauma Society and Society of Trauma Nurses, highlighting the importance of acknowledging trauma in our lives.
