Help Us Empower Trauma Victims Through Faith-Based Healing
Trauma healing can change communities
Los Angeles faces immense challenges when it comes to trauma experienced by its residents. Studies have found high rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), food insecurity, and homelessness among Angelenos.
- Around 9% of LA County residents have been diagnosed with PTSD, much higher than the national average of 3.5%
- Over half of LA adults have experienced at least one type of childhood trauma, with economic hardship being the most commonly reported
- Over 1 million LA county residents experienced food insecurity the last few years, a 30% increase from 2018
- On any given night, over 84,000 individuals in Los Angeles County are experiencing homelessness
