Children and Complex Trauma: A Roadmap for Healing and Recovery presents simple, practical, and proven trauma-focused strategies – based around the Complex Care and Intervention Program.
This approach, fine-tuned in over 300 challenging cases, will help you answer questions like:
What do I need to understand about how children’s brains work?
How can I help a child heal from past traumatic experiences?
What proven strategies can help a child manage their big emotions?
How can I deescalate a child when they’re having an epic meltdown?
“Children and Complex Trauma is a powerful book that suggests means of creating strong relational networks to support children’s recovery and resilience.”

Chuck’s Story
Thanks for your interest in me and our team's work to support children and teens who have experienced complex trauma. I've been a psychologist in our province's Child and Youth Mental Health and Child Welfare systems for the past twenty-five years. I've been privileged to work at all levels of our system and in many locations around British Columbia, from big cities to small towns and First Nations reserves. I believe that these experiences have given me a unique perspective on our work.
Over the last ten years, my team and I have worked with well over 300 children and youth and developed proven strategies that are evidenced by collected case data.
I live in Chilliwack, British Columbia, surrounded by farmland and nestled among beautiful mountains. In my spare time you'll often find me hiking on a mountain trail or riding my bike. I live with my wife, our adult son, and my parents in a three-generation household.
Chuck is the founder of Complex Trauma Resources (CTR), which provides cutting edge intervention services for children in foster care and adoption.
