Trauma and the Brain

The Dovetail Organization, Center for Alcohol & Other Drug Training and Workforce Development

This educational video from the Dovetail Organization explains through animation the natural and healthy development of the brain during youth versus the dramatic shift in growth due to trauma. It showcases areas of stunted growth as a result of emotional and/or physical abuse and trauma or from the negative effects of alcohol or drug abuse, whether from the parents or within the family history.
