    People react to traumatic incidents within their daily lives, well after the trauma has ceased.

    Losing a job, your means of survival, is traumatic.

    I feel like everyone always puts trauma square within the realms of war and abuse, but trauma comes at all of us, in a multitude of ways.

    People who have been recently traumatized need help. People struggling with trauma need continued help. We should help others, so that their trauma does not define them.

    That means a strong social safety net, and access to health care, housing, and food. Regardless of who you are, or your circumstance.
