- For some survivors of trauma, in addition to having to deal with existing financial pressures (e.g., meeting the repayments for ongoing debts such as loans and mortgages), other financial problems may surface in the future as a consequence of the trauma. These include:
- disability (physical and/or psychological reasons)
- unemployment
- debt
- Individuals who have not been personally involved in a traumatic incident may also feel financially vulnerable when someone close to them has suffered a trauma.
- In particular, problems may be encountered when the main breadwinner of the couple or family is unable to continue to work or has died following a traumatic incident.
