All the resources that had rushed in to help… left a short time afterwards. A void or “vaccum of care” was left behind. A void filled by strangers. Survivors having to relive the events of that day to a new person. For some, being re-trauimatized because different helpers were here.
This is not throwing shade… or in anyway minimizing the effort, impact and help so many provided… short and long term. It seems to be the nautre of a mass casualty event. Everyone rushes into help…
Trauma-informed care shifts the focus from “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” When there is no Continuity of Care then… that becomes part of “What happened to you.”
