Trauma and Grief Support
Trauma, grief, and loss are normal responses to a distressing event. Individuals can have a range of different experiences when there has been a traumatic event. Sometimes these experiences can be unpleasant and distressing.
This page has been developed by Hunter New England Mental Health Services as a resource to support individuals and communities impacted by a traumatic event.
To support you on your journey this page includes information and resources on trauma, grief, and loss, as well as information on local based support services, aimed at providing clear pathways to appropriate support and resources.
