TRAUMA CARE & CRITICAL INCIDENT SUPPORT

What is Trauma?

Trauma can occur following experiences that overwhelm a person's ability to cope.

This may involve:

• A single critical incident

• Repeated exposure to distressing events

• Cumulative occupational exposure

 

This is particularly relevant for a single distressing event, emergency services, healthcare workers, military personnel and other high-demand professions.

 

You may benefit from support if you:

• Have experienced a distressing event

• Feel persistently on edge

• Experience unwanted memories

• Notice changes in sleep or mood

• Feel different since an incident or series of incidents
