CHANGE FROM
ASKING: WHAT
IS WRONG WITH
YOU? TO WHAT
HAPPENED TO
YOU? (MILTON, 2022B)
Trauma is a widespread,
harmful and costly public
health problem. It occurs as a
result of violence, abuse,
neglect, loss, disaster, war and
other emotionally harmful
experiences. Trauma has NO
boundaries with regard to age,
gender, socioeconnmic status,
race, ethnicity, geography or
sexual orientation. It is an
almost universal experience of
people with mental and
substance abuse disorders
(SAMHSA - Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services
Administration, n.d.-b)

Providing Trauma Informed Care
allows the survivors and those
who are working closely with
them to build a healthy and
trusting relationship in order to
create a more successful life and
build a healthy community. It
allows those who have
experienced trauma to use the
skills and resources and work
towards the life they were
intended to have, full of success
and happiness. References:
