Antoinette’s main research interest is childhood trauma and the psychological, physiological and neurological effects – both long term and short term – that can affect a young person’s development, quality of adult life and overall life expectancy. Her PhD research concerns childhood trauma exacerbated by or as a consequence of the global pandemic, exploring the current support available in primary schools and identifying ways to improve this in order for the child to make the fullest recovery possible.
