Medical Trauma

This is a very important, but difficult, subject for many in our community. Given the prevalence of medical trauma within our community, we feel it is essential to discuss. Please know that navigating and healing from medical trauma is difficult, painful, and requires the support and expertise of mental health professionals. We also must emphasize how painful some of this can be for our community and the frequent need for additional support, warmth, compassion, and understanding from those around us. Our last important note: healing from medical trauma is possible, but we feel it is critical for individuals with medical trauma to have access to trauma-informed mental health professionals and other resources.
