Welcome to the Childhood Trauma WikiProject!

This project was initiated by members of the Health and Resources Services Administration Early Childhood Trauma Collaborative and Innovation Network (COIN), which itself was a subproject of the Infant Mortality Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (COIIN), which strives to reduce infant mortality in areas with high rates of, and disparities in rates of, infant mortality and related perinatal outcomes.

Research

Wikipedia can be a great resource for getting to know a field — and it can give you an encyclopaedic overview of a subject, acting as a spring-board letting you dive deeper. It should however not be used as your only source when performing research, and you should never blindly trust Wikipedia. However, sharing of expertise and research can help get the most important, trusted information out to the public.
