Trauma Project
All
of us go through difficult times in our lives. An injury or the death of a loved
one can cause grief and sadness.
But there are cases when a sad event can become a traumatic one. Trauma is
when the sad event is unusually frightening or threatening - either because
it is unexpected or because it is very violent. For instance, the death of a
child or a string of violent events in a neighborhood can be traumatic not only
for those directly involved but many others as well. Trauma can cause great
distress and disruption to your everyday life.
Resources are available through the Trauma Project to help residents cope with
traumatic events and get the care they need. Brochures for children and adults
are available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
