Trauma Proof: Healing, Attachment and the Science of Prevention (2025) by Benjamin Perks who grew up in an English orphanage and now works for the UN in New York where he is the Head of Advocacy for UNICEF/

In the Introduction to Trauma Proof, Benjamin Perks writes:

“Trauma Proof is a story about how we can heal from child trauma in diverse contexts and at any stage of life. It is also perhaps the first book to argue that we can prevent child maltreatment at scale through modest changes to and investments in our public health system. It argues that the pain caused by child trauma is not just an individual, it is a societal catastrophe. But it doesn’t need to be.”
