Incredible new edition of the "Childhood Maltreatment" guide compiles and reviews all of the latest scientific research #childhoodmaltreatment, including neglect and physical, sexual, psychological, or emotional abuse. #traumainformed@DrWekerle
For instance, trauma symptomatology has been shown to be a key mediator between historical maltreatment and adolescent romantic relationship.

It is becoming increasingly clear that childhood #maltreatment experiences continue to live on as various #trauma symptoms. These experiences (ranging from physical abuse to emotional neglect) impact the development of children, especially in developing #relationships.
As the effects continue into adulthood, it may be linked to other psychosocial consequences. Given the impact of trauma symptoms, exposure to bullying must be considered in any #intervention aimed towards improvement of #mental and #physical health. @DrWekerle@katherinekim__
Bullying is commonly experienced by youth and can lead to deleterious effects such as mood disorders and anxiety. The following study focuses on the impact of childhood bullying on trauma symptoms in HIV-positive men. #menshealth@DrWekerle@katherinekim__ https://t.co/gN4qH16MXt
The study shows that #bullying is remarkably common in at-risk populations, such as HIV-positive men, and is associated with severe symptoms of #trauma and suicidal ideation. The findings of the study show that these effects do not end in childhood. @DrWekerle@katherinekim__
When conversing with #children, especially during the pandemic, parents should share their fears and vulnerabilities to allow #youth to recognize that they are not alone. Addressing these feelings help develop #resilience, further preventing functional impairment from developing.
Young men who have sex with men with gender nonconformity are at an increased risk for CSA. Acceptance & support for these men are vital to building positive self-esteem, protecting against depression and suicidality. #menshealth@DrWekerle@katherinekim__ https://t.co/XRRScGTmml
In light of Movember, attention should be drawn to men’s mental health. A recent Child Abuse and Neglect journal article has explored the underreporting of sexual abuse by men and its association to mental health. @DrWekerle, @katherinekim_ https://t.co/4NHO3rP6Wc
Investigating the variables playing a role in the increase in suicide attempts among men with history of child sexual abuse - and the importance of addressing these variables to help suicidal men with CSA. @DrWekerle#Movember https://t.co/k5oOGMzAk5
This suggests that clinicians must inquire about childhood sexual abuse as part of their routine practice, and that we must keep addressing barriers that prevent men from sharing their histories of sexual abuse through education campaigns. @DrWekerle, @katherinekim_
Although earlier disclosure of sexual abuse was associated with better mental health, an important finding has shown that men often waited many years in silence before disclosing their sexual abuse to a trusted individual. @DrWekerle, @katherinekim_
