As people are becoming more aware of the impact of trauma there is a ground swell of movement to come together as communities and try to address this, through education, information, training, community events, workshops.
This is not just aimed at community organisations, every facet of life in Gympie has a part to play in making Gympie a safe and resilient community
The aim is also to work to address policies and practices in the community which run the risk of re-traumatising people – I’m sure we can all recount instances of times when someone with a trauma history has come up against an intractable agency or individual and has felt a further sense of being traumatised. How hard is it to ask for help and support and be faced with forms and processes which one is just incapable of comprehending, because of the effect of trauma
