Traumatic experiences in early childhood can put individuals at risk for future substance abuse, mental health disorders, chronic health conditions and early death.

“No on picks where they start in life. But the good news is we can come alongside our children and help them have a better finish,” Haas told a group of community representatives April 28 at a symposium held at Tennessee College of Applied Technology at Crossville.
