Valerie Knowles

Dr. Valerie Knowles is a Licensed Child and Adolescent Psychologist in practice in the Bahamas. For more than two and a half decades, she has helped thousands of children and adolescents manage their learning and behavioral challenges. This publication is meant to deepen public empathy and move consciousness about childhood trauma beyond simply quoting statistics and expressions of short-lived outrage. It is her hope that deeper empathy would motivate more persons to think more critically about how they interact and influence the lives of the children around them.
