The Impact of Trauma on the Family: “Lighting the Way to Healing, Health and Resilience”
The conference goal is to provide information and resources to address the emotional, spiritual and physical health of the entire family that has been impacted by trauma. We know from the research that trauma and the resulting negative impact of trauma does not limit itself to just the person directly traumatized.
