Trauma is a common experience in America. In the United States, 45% of children have had an adverse childhood experience (ACE) such as food insecurity or parental divorce. Among adults, 51% of women and 61% of men have undergone at least one traumatic event.
Some professionals may need continuing education units (CEUs) in trauma to renew their license. Even when trauma CEUs aren’t required, they are often relevant to one’s practice. Trauma doesn’t simply lead to PTSD—it can also contribute to more common issues such as anxiety. The vast majority of people in public behavioral health care (90%) have experienced trauma in their lifetimes.
