Module Introduction

Now, you may be wondering how trauma is related to substance use.

 

As we discussed in the introduction, trauma does not act in isolation. Experiencing a trauma can increase your risk of other behaviours, such as experiencing chronic health conditions, substance use, and increasing your risk of suicide.
