A little bit about TRAUMA…

Trauma can stem from:

*Accidents & natural disasters
*Witnessing acts of violence
*Childhood abuse or neglect
*War & other forms of violence
*Medical interventions
*Cultural, historical, & intergenerational trauma

“Nearly 70% of people endure severe social or emotional problems after being the victim of a violent crime, but only about 12% of those receive help from victim services”
