Everyone benefits when people in relationship with trauma survivors know more about

  • what trauma is,
  • how it affects people, and
  • how to respond effectively.

“Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.” - Albert Schweitzer

“Simple kindness to one's self and all that lives is the most powerful transformational force of all.”— David R. Hawkins

“In dealing with those who are undergoing great suffering, if you feel ‘burnout’ setting in, if you feel demoralized and exhausted, it is best, for the sake of everyone, to withdraw and restore yourself. The point is to have a long-term perspective.”
- Dalai Lama

“Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. ‘Pooh!’ he whispered. ‘Yes, Piglet?’ ‘Nothing,’ said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. ‘I just wanted to be sure of you.’”
- A.A. Milne
