The Truth About Trauma: Coping with isolation, loneliness and grief

There’s a common misconception about trauma — that it’s associated with just one significant event in a person’s life. Trauma is defined through the eyes of the individual who has experienced an emotionally difficult event or multiple events. In this session, we will take a deeper look into trauma and provide an overview of common mental health symptoms; an understanding of trauma and vicarious trauma as they pertain to isolation, loneliness and grief; the impact of COVID-19 on these areas; and an introduction to resources and connections that can help.
