Abstract: Assessing the impact of trauma-informed care on children in Bo City is essential for their upbringing, as many of them are vulnerable to traumatic experiences. A significant number are growing up faced with misfortunes that place them in these traumatic situations. This study aims to understand the type of care needed for children in conflict with the law to help them reintegrate into society following such experiences.

The study employed mixed research methods, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The goal was to explore all possible avenues to gather quality, informed data that would yield evidence-based results.

Participants were selected from daycares, schools, and orphanages that provide self-care to children in need.

The findings highlighted critical situations that put children at risk within schools and other child-focused organizations. The results indicated that children who grow up without their biological parents often experience a lack of love, warmth, and encouragement, increasing the likelihood that they will require intensive care. Consequently, the study showed that children received trauma-informed care from Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and child support agencies.

Ultimately, the study suggests that more love and care must be provided to ensure effective trauma-informed care for these children.
