Healthwatch Essex have come up with a brilliant idea - a trauma card:


The card allows you to make health professionals aware that you're experiencing the effects of trauma, with the following text on the front of the card:

"TRAUMA AWARENESS CARD
I am a survivor of significant trauma. I find certain situations - including this one - extremely difficult. PLEASE SEE REVERSE OF CARD FOR SPECIFIC WAYS TO HELP ME"

But it doesn't stop there - the health professionals can then scan a QR code on the card, which takes them to the website and provides them with info on how to more effectively support those living with the effects of trauma.

Watch this video to find out more:

 
And here are the front and the back of the card:
