What is Trauma?
•trauma results from an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is
experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or threatening and
that has lasting adverse effects on the individual's functioning and physical, social,
emotional, or spiritual well-being
•Trauma can be anything that results from experiences that overwhelm an individual's
capacity to cope. Trauma can result from childhood abuse and neglect, undergoing
repeated medical interventions, accidents and natural disasters, witnessing acts of
violence or war, grief and loss, intergenerational and historical events, etc.
Regardless of its source, trauma contains three common elements:
,● It was unexpected.
● The person was unprepared.
● There was nothing the person could do to stop it from happening (helplessness).
Vicarious trauma- definition
trauma that results from observing another person's traumatic experience
The impact a traumatic event has on us depends on
the meaning (positive or negative) we make of the event and if we can self-regulate/
stabilize after the event impacts our nervous system (fight flight or freeze)

Rather, regardless of their primary mission - to deliver primary care, mental health,
addictions services, housing, etc - their commitment is to provide services in a manner
that is welcoming and appropriate to the special needs of those affected by trauma
-Replaces the labelling of clients or patients as being "sick," resistant or uncooperative
with that of being affected by an "injury." Viewing trauma as an injury shifts the
conversation from asking "What is wrong with you?" to "What has happened to you?"
,● Realizes the widespread impact of trauma and understands potential paths for
