Resilient Thriving: Mental Health of Childhood Physical Abuse Survivors
A new study found that nearly two-thirds of adult survivors of childhood physical abuse are in a state of complete mental health or "psychological flourishing." However, survivors still report lower psychological flourishing than the general population, emphasizing the need for targeted, trauma-informed mental health interventions. Chronic pain was identified as a significant factor affecting mental health, further emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to support survivors.
