Trauma and its impacts

Trauma and its impacts

To work effectively in this space, it is key that we acknowledge trauma and its potential impacts. Individual trauma results from an event or series of events/circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or threatening. It often has adverse effects on an individual’s functioning and mental, physical, social, emotional, and/or spiritual well-being.

It is important that we understand how our trauma affects us both as individuals and as a movement.
