This report explores MHA Screening data from individuals seeking support for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and individuals seeking mental health supports who self-identified as trauma survivors in 2020-2021.
Trauma is different for everyone—what seems normal to one person might be traumatic for another. Each of the 10 MHA mental health screening tools, including the one for PTSD, allow respondents to self-identify as a member of a select population. One of these populations is “trauma survivor.” This analysis includes insights into the population self-identifying as trauma survivors, as well as analysis of those who completed a screen for PTSD.
