Anxiety & Mental Health After Traumatic Accident
Mental trauma after an accident can severely limit your ability to resume regular activities. It is normal to experience distress after a car accident, but treatment may be necessary if it is prolonged and interferes with daily functioning. The right support makes recovery from emotional trauma after a car accident attainable.
During a car accident, a series of events can unfold that can cause lasting emotional trauma, including life-altering injuries, the threat of death, and the death of someone else. Emotional trauma is a natural response to such a dramatic chain of events. It is a function of the brain’s complex survival mechanisms.
Emotional trauma from a car accident should not be viewed as a weakness, but as a type of injury that may require treatment for the best possible outcome, much like any physical injury.

World Kindness Day – November 13
World Kindness Day reminds us that small acts of kindness can have a big impact. A simple smile, a kind word, or checking in on someone can brighten a day — and even improve mental health.
Kindness isn’t just good manners; it’s good for the mind. It can reduce stress, boost mood, and strengthen connections — all important factors in preventing feelings of isolation or hopelessness.
This November 13, let’s make kindness part of prevention. Take time to show compassion to yourself and others, listen without judgment, and look out for those who might need support. Together, we can build a stronger, more caring community.
