Trauma refers to a distressing event or series of events that can result in adverse long-term effects on an individual’s overall functioning and well-being. The Month of June is observed as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. During this time, I also want to highlight the issue of psychological trauma and how it is critical that behavioral health providers continue to gain more knowledge about how to help those suffering from trauma, as this is a complex issue and an area of great need. In last week’s blog, I talked about how trauma is common to the human experience but having endured traumatic events in the past does not always result in the development of PTSD.

The focus of addressing trauma in behavioral health treatment is commonly referred to as trauma-informed care. Over the years, the behavioral health field has in...
