This educational series will explore trauma, in its multitudinous forms (generational, childhood, adult-onset, societal, global, etc.), and how it can adversely impact personal health and wellness. By interviewing survivors, authors and healthcare professionals, “The Trauma Chronicles” will perhaps more importantly shed light on how to recover and progress to the transformative growth phase (Post-traumatic growth) where victims empower themselves to emerge stronger, more focused and with a new and clear vision for the future.
