Trauma, whether physical, emotional, verbal, or sexual, can have long-term effects on mental health. People who have experienced abuse or other trauma have a higher risk of developing a mental health condition, including depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

During Thriving Together, survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence explore ways to live well, be informed self-advocates, & address stigma and the health disparities that can challenge our wellbeing.
