Who is this series for?
This series is for anyone who has suffered from childhood trauma. Trauma is defined as a bodily injury or a mental shock. As you will see in the series, a person may experience multiple traumas as a child, and how they deal with these traumas will either hinder their mental health as an adult, or they will thrive in spite of it.
This series will also enable people who care for these trauma survivors to better understand trauma and become a more empowered supporter.
