Trauma’s Impact on Health and Well-Being

By: Kate Bunch and Alex Floyd

Abstract:

The goal of this presentation is to increase awareness and understanding of trauma and how it impacts both individuals and our communities. Presenters will provide an overview of how trauma impacts both the mind and body and discuss how this influences our ability to engage with the world. The long term impacts of trauma on both our physical and mental well being will be discussed. With this information we will then explore how we create a trauma informed culture within the communities we are a part of.
