What is trauma?

Sometimes it can hit your emotions now – and sometimes, it can happen later on in life. Its impact can be severe.

Trauma is what happens when life throws something at us that’s too stressful, too fast, or too frightening or distressing to handle. It can be one moment or something that drags on.

Survivor’s Voice

“I was completely lost. I used to be broken. My advocate from Deaf-initely Women changed everything. She helped me with everything. The service helped me to realise that it wasn’t my fault. Now I feel stronger, more confident, and empowered – all thanks to this service”.
