Help Us Empower Detroit's Trauma Victims Through Faith-Based Healing
Trauma healing can change communities
In Detroit, trauma affects a significant portion of the population, with one in four children experiencing major trauma before kindergarten. This exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like violence, substance misuse, and family instability leaves lasting impacts on both mental and physical health.
Assaultive violence, in particular, is a leading cause of PTSD in the city, and many violent crimes occur close to hospitals, underscoring the need for targeted interventions.
PTSD following trauma exposure was found to occur in 9.2% of cases in a Detroit area survey.
Addressing trauma is critical to breaking cycles of adversity and improving health outcomes for Detroit’s future.
Programs aimed at supporting families and trauma survivors must offer long-term, comprehensive solutions to truly make an impact. That’s what we hope to do in Detroit, with your help.
