The Department of Health and Social Services held a conference on Wednesday focused on raising awareness and promoting resources for victims of traumatic experiences.

The “Trauma Matters” conference took place at Delaware Technical Community College’s Terry Campus in Dover.

According to a 2011-2012 study conducted by the National Survey of Children’s Health, about 50 percent of Delaware children under 18 have had an adverse experience.
