Common Stress Reactions to Trauma
Some reactions are common to people who experience traumatic stress as a result of witnessing or being involved in a traumatic event. Everyone who is exposed to such an event is affected by it and may experience some reaction. Being party to a traumatic incident reminds us that we are also vulnerable to tragedy. Our protective belief that "nothing could happen to me or to people I know" can be momentarily stripped away.
Helpguide
Helpguide is a web resource that is geared to providing useful information in the form of articles that are ‘commercial-free, unbiased and balanced’ and that are easy to read and understand. Their aim is to help people become “health literate” and ultimately to help prevent and resolve challenging mental and physical health issues. They have topics on aspects of Healthy Living, Mental and Emotional Health, Stress Management and more.
