Trauma impacts every survivor differently, and it can have a significant impact on their mental health. Survivors of trauma can experience a wide range of reactions to the event, from nightmares and flashbacks to depression, anxiety, and self-destructive behavior. In some cases, these reactions can last for years after the incident took place. Residing in a state that has seen unprecedented levels of natural disaster over the past few years has heightened interpersonal sensitivity towards those who are impacted by such events. It is important to remember that when we assist others, we often end up being assisted as well. The following is a list of ways you can provide effective support to survivors of trauma.
