Why: We are an incredible community. Understanding the impact of trauma is an important next step for us all. From the National Council for Behavioral Health*:
- Trauma is a near universal experience of individuals with behavioral health problems.
- An individual’s experience of trauma impacts every area of human functioning — physical, mental, behavioral, social, spiritual.
- Trauma is shrouded in secrecy and denial and is often ignored.
- The good news is trauma is treatable — there are many evidence-based models and promising practices designed for specific populations, types of trauma, and behavioral health manifestations.
