Approximately 6% of U.S. adults will experience PTSD at some point in their lives, and many individuals impacted by trauma remain underserved or unidentified. Trauma-informed approaches help organizations recognize the widespread impact of trauma, respond with compassion, and create safer, more supportive systems of care.

Through advocacy, training, and collaboration with provider agencies across North Carolina, Benchmarks supports strategies that promote healing, resilience, and long-term well-being for children, families, and communities. Building trauma-informed systems is essential to improving outcomes and strengthening care across behavioral health and human services sectors.
