The “Families & Caregivers” section of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) offers a wealth of resources designed specifically for parents, adoptive and foster caregivers, grandparents, and all other adults who raise and support children and teenagers impacted by trauma.

It emphasizes the vital role caregivers play in helping young people recover when caregivers understand the emotional and behavioral effects of trauma, they’re better equipped to provide safety, understanding, and support for resilience and healing. The page allows users to filter resources by format—such as fact sheets, tip sheets, videos, webinars—and by trauma type, age group, and language, facilitating access to tailored and culturally responsive materials. Overall, the resource hub presents a compassionate, evidence-based approach to strengthening caregiver capacity and fostering child resilience during and after traumatic experiences.
