Adolescents in residential care are young people with special health care needs about to enter adulthood.…”

“…On the other hand, previous research has shown percentages of adolescents in SRC to display symptoms of PTSD to be as low as 18% (Dirkse et al, 2018). In residential care, percentages from 40% (Lord et al, 2021), 24% (Collin‐Vézina et al, 2011), 16% (Harr et al, 2013) to even 0.6% in residential youth care (Jozefiak et al, 2016) were reported. However, Van Dam et al (2010) found 58% of adolescents in SRC to have experienced one or more traumatic events (e.g.…”

“…Destiny's experience is unfortunately common, however, and the salience of exposure to PTE in youth development and mental health service delivery cannot be overstated. Base rates suggest that up to 60% of community-dwelling children have been exposed to abuse, violence, and other crimes (Finkelhor, Turner, Ormrod, & Hamby, 2009), with much higher rates observed in high-risk samples, such as 93% of youth entering detention (Abram et al, 2004) and 95% of residential treatment (Harr, Horn-Johnson, Williams, Jones, & Riley, 2013). The list of negative social, emotional, and biological outcomes associated with PTE is long and includes delinquency, emotional duress, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, aggre sive behavior, limited educational attainment, memory and learning impairment, alexithymia, serious physical diseases, and fractious social relationships (Adams et al, 2013;Betancourt et al, 2012;Carrion & Wong, 2012;De Bellis & Zisk, 2014;Felitti et al, 1998;Leenarts et al, 2013;Suzuki et al, 2014).…”

Potentially traumatic events (PTE) can occur in the life of an individual and can cause long-term psychological harm, including symptoms or diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A large number of youth currently receiving mental and behavioral health services have been exposed to PTE, and a subset of those struggle with distressing and impairing symptoms of PTSD. Often, these youth have not and will not receive appropriate care, which can include Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and trauma-informed care (e.g., Sanctuary). We sought to identify rates of exposure to PTE and expression of PTSD symptoms in youth receiving services in a system of care and found that 95% of the sample reported exposure to at least one PTE (mean = 5). One third of the sample reported a significant burden of PTSD symptoms (5 or more rated highly in the past month). These findings support the trauma-informed care principle of universal precautions in environments that provide mental and behavioral health services to youth. Case vignettes are presented and implications for practice are discussed.
