BREAKING THE SILENCE

About the Project:

Why I Chose This Topic

As someone who has seen the effects of childhood trauma on the people around me, I wanted to learn more about this problem. The conversation gaps surrounding childhood trauma motivated and inspired me to create this space.

Project Goals

• Educate others about the psychological impact of childhood trauma.

• Make scientific research more accessible to students and adults alike.

• Encourage empathy, early intervention, and open conversation.

• Present findings through an interactive website.

ATL Skills Used

• Research Skills: I gathered credible academic data from journals and psychological studies.

• Communication Skills: I sent a Google Form to school counselors to gather expert opinions (although response numbers were low due to technical issues).

• Creative Thinking: I designed this website layout, wrote all page content, and created original visual elements.
