Although precise numbers are difficult to estimate, close to 1 billion children under the age of 18 experience trauma every year. Many of these children will go on to thrive despite their lived experiences of trauma, whereas some will not. Thriving in the aftermath of trauma has been defined by some researchers as Post-Traumatic Growth. This article will explore Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) in a Cambodian context, with trauma survivors who have been supported by Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) and looking specifically at faith and spirituality, which are recognised within a PTG framework. This article will present some of the findings stemming from a wider piece of research conducted in Cambodia, seeking to understand resilience in the aftermath of trauma (Wyatt, 2021). The data captured in this research contains the perspective of 26 young Cambodian trauma survivors. These adult participants (aged 18-30) not only survived significant trauma in their early childhood but appeared to do remarkably well in life. This research set out to understand what role, if any, faith did play in building the resilience for these individuals. Furthermore, this article presents the perspectives of NGOs and the people who support trauma survivors in Cambodia and what they can add to the PTG narrative. Specifically, this article will explore how individual coping methods such as social resources, faith and spiritual practices, culture and community can facilitate positive adaptation and PTG for these young trauma survivors.
