%X It is critical that healthcare providers recognize behaviors common to children who have endured politically-motivated torture in order to create a safe and reliable treatment plan for such children and their families. Three vignettes taken from actual cases illustrate the way child survivors of torture are likely to present in educational, medical, or healthcare settings. Children or youth are resilient and can be helped to process their traumatic experiences and thrive emotionally and physically if providers are observant, competent and responsive. Federally funded resource centers exist to assist in caring for children who have survived torture.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
