Questions – Part 8

The Role of Difficult or Traumatic Life Experiences

8.1 For some people, mental health issues can arise following traumatic or very difficult life experiences in childhood and/or adulthood.

What kind of support is most helpful to support recovery from previous traumatic experiences?

8.2 What things can get in the way of recovery from such experiences?

8.3 Is there anything else you'd like to tell us about this, whether you're answering as an individual or on behalf of an organisation?
