Trauma can affect sleep, mood, relationships and work in ways that are hard to see from the inside. A trauma impact assessment helps you understand those effects and plan the right support.

Quick answer
A trauma impact assessment is a structured, trauma-informed evaluation of how a distressing experience, such as an accident, violence, abuse or sudden loss, is affecting your emotional wellbeing, relationships and daily functioning. It uses a careful interview and validated trauma screening tools, and results in a report with recommendations for treatment and support.
You do not need to describe every detail of what happened. The assessment focuses on how you are affected now and what will help.
