Childhood Trauma and Anxiety: A Guide to Boise State Resources

The aim of our research is to share how childhood trauma leads to anxiety and offer students information on the resources at Boise State. To find substantial information on this topic we are going to use the Albertsons library database to find peer-reviewed articles on how childhood trauma increases the risk for anxiety.
