Behind The Smile:
How to Spot and Support Victims of Trauma

Natatia created Behind The Smile: Detecting Victims of Abuse as a tool for parents, educators, neighbors, victims (and really everybody) who may know or be a victim of the trauma she went through herself: domestic violence and emotional and verbal abuse. The personal stories she sprinkles throughout the book will both open an unsuspecting reader’s eyes to the horror a child can go through in an abusive home environment and shed light on what a survivor might have gone (or been going) through. With a background in psychology and education, Natatia brilliantly breaks down the trajectory of what someone in this situation may experience. She reveals:

• First-hand experience in traumatic situations
• How those experiences immediately shape the victim
• How those experiences carry into adulthood
• Signs a victim is trying to hide their trauma in daily life
• How to engage with a potential victim and offer help

You can become a hero by detecting these signs in someone else or yourself by reading this book. Knowing what to look for behind the smile will change how you view other people’s façades and potentially give you the power to help improve someone’s life.
