Caregiver And Secondhand Trauma (CAST)
CAST Defined
For the Parent/Caregiver of a child/adult with a complex mental health condition or disability, the challenges associated with their trauma are not always obvious, practical, or easy to explain. Sometimes Parents/Caregivers don’t even realize their situation is traumatic and they unknowingly suffer in silence. Their feelings are never acknowledged or validated and therefore never dealt with or processed. We are here to provide support.
