Psychosocial and Trauma Assessments
According to an article from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), an estimated 50% of those receiving behavioral health help (such as in therapy) have a history of trauma.​​​1
Therapists estimate this number is higher for those who have a history of mental health disorders and struggle with substance abuse.
