The Jed Foundation's resource on "Understanding Emotional Trauma" explains what emotional trauma is, how it affects mental health, and ways to find support. Emotional trauma can result from distressing events like accidents, abuse, or sudden loss, and it often impacts an individual's mood, behavior, and relationships. Trauma responses vary widely but may include anxiety, depression, and a sense of detachment.

The page highlights the importance of early support, coping strategies like mindfulness, and professional treatment options to foster resilience and healing. Recognizing emotional trauma and seeking help can lead to recovery and better long-term mental health.
