Abuse, neglect, and violence don’t just affect children in the moment - it shapes their futures too. John Paul Simon, LMFT, ACS, Clinical Director at CarePlus NJ, spoke with NJ101.5 about how traumatic experiences can lead to chronic anxiety, disrupted immune systems, and a higher likelihood of violent behavior later in life. Simon urges parents to connect with schools to learn about available emotional and social learning resources. #MentalHealthMatters #RaisingAwareness
