Traumatic Bereavement encompasses the grief response leading to healing and recovery as a victim or witness to human trauma and loss. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Suicide
- Loss of a child
- Violent crime
- Accidental/Unintended death
- Mass shootings
- Gang violence
- Military death (KIA)
Very often the proper and healthy grief process is misunderstood, suppressed, and/or delayed, only to resurface many years later. Post traumatic stress symptoms and moral injury go unaddressed giving way to chronic depression, anxiety, and a loss of joy, which robs life. The Center for Post Traumatic Growth is committed to healing and recovery in its core program for individuals and for couples/familiesaddressing the grief process in a way that allows for the safe expression of this misunderstood need.
