Understanding and Addressing Secondary Trauma in Families of Survivors
This presentation explores the profound impact of secondary trauma on families of survivors.

Families of trauma survivors—such as veterans, survivors of abuse, or those impacted by systemic violence—often experience secondary trauma, with unique and compounding effects for families of color.
