What is Trauma?
Trauma includes stressful, frightening, or distressing events.
It can stem from a single event—like an accident, natural disaster, or act of violence—or from ongoing situations such as:
-
an abusive relationship
-
gender-based violence
-
a high-conflict divorce
-
a chronic health challenge
Individuals are impacted by trauma in different ways.
Our Comprehensive Services are Evidence-Informed
