"We cannot selectively numb emotions. When we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions."
– Brené Brown

Helping Individuals Live Full, Meaningful Lives

When we experience a crisis or trauma, we feel broken. Yet, as human beings, we have potential for healing. Finding support after a crisis or trauma can help uncover our value and worth. Each person’s experience with trauma is unique. Trauma-informed mental health care allows trauma survivors to build resiliency for the hard work of treating their trauma.
