Trauma Awareness
Any individual, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity or profession, may experience a one-off trauma or frequent trauma in their lives. Traumatic events can have a devastating effect on our psyche and mental and physical wellbeing and overwhelm our ability to cope. It’s crucial for trauma survivors to seek assistance and support, in order to be able to process their experience and move on with their lives.

Trauma awareness helps family members, caregivers, loved ones and organisations to provide trauma-informed care to people who need help. Timely intervention and compassionate assistance can go a long way towards helping trauma survivors cultivate healthy and trusting relationships and resume normal lives. People who have suffered trauma may experience terror and intense fear, even while handling the routine interactions of day-to-day life.
