Trauma refers to the emotional and psychological response to deeply distressing or disturbing events that overwhelm an individual's ability to cope, often resulting in lasting adverse effects on mental, physical, social, and emotional well-being. Understanding trauma involves recognizing its diverse manifestations, the potential for long-term impact, and the importance of trauma-informed care in fostering recovery and resilience.
