What exactly is trauma, and what is trauma-informed care? This event breaks it down with a combination of personal anecdote and expert information: what are common personal and environmental risks for trauma, what does trauma do to the brain, how does trauma manifest itself symptomatically? What does “trauma-informed” care look like when it comes to the mental illness and substance use problems so common among trauma survivors? How can we as a culture be better informed about trauma and the treatments that help people recover from it?
