Who can be affected by Trauma?

Trauma can happen to people from all walks of life.  It may have happened to you or someone you know. It can happen to young people or older people. It may occur as result of the actions of another person. Or as a result of particular situation, a single event, or as a result of a series of events over a period of time. The effects can be felt by individuals or in families and even through generations. Perhaps not surprisingly children and people with learning disabilities are reported to be more at risk than others.
