Abstract
Childhood and adolescent trauma are defined as psychological, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as household dysfunctions that include substance abuse, criminal history, mental illness, and witnessing violence or abuse against a parent (Felitti et al., 1998; Noel-London et al., 2021). Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are a form of trauma for those under the age of 18 involving neglect and abuse (Elmore & Crouch, 2020). ACEs have been shown to have a lasting impact on an individual’s life, including violence, behavioral disorders, and mental health disorders (Noel-London et al., 2021; Sigurvinsdottir et al., 2021). ACEs and trauma can impact all areas of one’s life, especially engagement in social participation (Harazneh et al., 2020). Stress and trauma can have an immediate impact on an individual and influence his or her social development, as well as create lasting effects (Kerker et al., 2015). Social development will impact adolescent’s approach to engaging in social interactions. Trauma and an individual’s social development will also relate to his or her engagement in academics.
