title: A mental health service after major trauma.
abstract: Although 75-80% of people involved in a major trauma do not have any long-term psychological problems, many will experience significant psychological distress during the first four weeks. Most individuals will make a full recovery if provided with local, immediate and appropriate support. People who have experienced a major trauma should have access to support as soon as possible after the event until symptoms are resolved.
