SAFENOWPROJECT provides free, confidential, monthly support groups for victims and families in Livingston County, MO.
Post Traumatic Syndrome often affects various aspects of a survivor's life. With time, pre-trauma difficulties can worsen and new problems be created. Anger, withdrawal, poor self-image and new fears can increase the mutual discomfort, isolation, and the chance of separation or divorce. Anger, poor concentration and distrust can hurt performance, teamwork, job satisfaction and overall career progress. Some victims use alcohol or drugs to self-medicate problems with sleep, anger, isolation or new fears.
The chronic stress of Post Trauma Syndrome can aggravate pre-trauma problem areas or create new physical problems. Substance abuse, depression, anger and frustration increase self destructive or irresponsible behaviors.
