💙 Recovery from trauma is not just about physical healing—it’s about connection, support, and resilience. Research shows that peer support programs significantly improve post-trauma outcomes, helping patients and families navigate the daily challenges of recovery. At Inova’s Trauma Survivors Network (TSN), survivors don’t have to face this journey alone. TSN provides a community of patients and survivors, offering encouragement, shared experiences, and the strength to rebuild after serious injury. 💬 "Survivors prove every day that healing is possible," shares Shira Rothberg, LCSW, Trauma Survivors Network Coordinator.

🧠 May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, and at Inova, we believe asking for help is a sign of strength! Even wellness experts aren't immune to mental health challenges. Steph H., Senior Director at Inova Well, shares her story: Despite years in the field and a toolbox of grounding techniques and stress resilience practices to draw from, she experienced unexpected panic attacks. Even when life seems to be going well, unresolved stress, grief, and emotions can resurface. She sought help through Inova's Lyra mental health support and bravely opened up to her team about the experience. 💚 If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available: https://bit.ly/3ER8UNZ #MentalHealthMatters (fb)
