    Trauma is defined as experiencing or witnessing actual or threatened death, serious injury, or threat to one's physical integrity. Trauma can have a devastating impact on an individual's mental, emotional, and physical health by affecting brain development and altering the body's stress response. More than 6 in 10 U.S. youth have been exposed to violence, and certain groups like veterans, LGBTQ individuals, and those in the juvenile justice system experience trauma at disproportionately high rates. Healing from trauma is possible by addressing its impacts.
