Collective trauma refers to the shared experience of distress among groups, significantly impacting their mental health and shaping their behavior and relationships.
Trauma can arise from various distressing events, not just severe accidents or assaults, influencing how communities operate and interact with one another.
The COVID-19 pandemic exemplifies collective trauma, as it brought feelings of isolation, financial instability, and emotional distress on a massive scale to communities.
Lasting effects of collective trauma may include persistent fear, grief, and shifts in social dynamics, underscoring the need for communities to cope and heal together.
