The aim of the present review is 1) highlight the types of childhood adversity, such as domestic violence, abuse, and neglect, etc. 2) the consequences of childhood adversity on the mental health outcomes of adolescents 3) inform the evidence-based strategies for preventing and addressing the consequences of childhood trauma.
