Mental Wellness after a Trauma

Mental Wellness after a Trauma

All too often we assume trauma must be caused by a major event, but trauma comes in all shapes and sizes and includes anything that affects a person to the point that it reduces their quality of life. Even an observer of a difficult event can be affected by trauma.  Emotional distress is common, and even “normal”, after a trauma. Ongoing stress can follow for days or weeks. However, when your quality of life is affected by a traumatic event, it’s time to reach out for professional help.
