In Houston, trauma affects a significant portion of the population, with the suicide rate increasing to 11.2 per 100,000 in the last few years.
In addition, the proportion of adults experiencing frequent mental distress in Texas is up to 12.1%. Poverty, violence, disability, and inequality can increase the risk of developing mental health conditions.
Many Houstonians reported that the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted their mental health, with increased levels of worry, anxiety, concern, and loss of interest.
Addressing trauma is critical to breaking cycles of adversity and improving health outcomes for Houston’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 Houston, with your help.
When you partner with World Impact, you ensure urban leaders can help others heal from trauma and hear the good news. When this happens, their churches are healthier, and individuals, families, and neighborhoods can flourish through their local ministry.
