About Trauma
A wide range of disasters, both natural and human-caused, can trigger the need for mental health services. These include natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires, as well as human-caused events such as mass violence, terrorist attacks, and public health emergencies like disease outbreaks. The severity and nature of the disaster, along with individual risk and resilience factors, will influence the extent and type of mental health services needed.
People who have experienced trauma (a psychological and physiological response to a deeply distressing or overwhelming event that exceeds an individual's coping abilities) often feel fear and anxiety, have trouble concentrating, feel confused, irritable or angry, and may have flashbacks or intrusive thoughts of the event. They may feel numb, lose their appetite or be nauseous, and have trouble sleeping.
