In moments of tragedy, our attention often goes to those directly affected, and rightly so. But those who respond to tragic events are exposed to trauma on a daily basis, and that can have a deep impact on them mentally. John Hyatt, CEO of IMPACT, joins us to discuss "secondary trauma", and how they offer services to anyone impacted by trauma.

You can join Molly Fay at IMPACT's 2nd annual fundraiser, Higher Ground... The Trauma Epidemic, on August 8 at 5:30pm at the Wisconsin Club. For more information on the event, and all the great work being done at IMPACT AND IMPACT 2-1-1, visit IMPACTinc.org.
