If you experienced trauma as a child, you are not alone. In a landmark 1998 study, two-thirds of respondents reported having a traumatic experience in their early years. The study also revealed a link between trauma in a person’s past and poor health later in life.

Childhood neglect
A family member with mental health or substance abuse issues
Exposure to violence in the community
Sudden, unexplained separation from a loved one
