Trauma, self-care and activism

Let's face it: activism for human rights, gender justice, climate justice, can lead to burnout, or even to being traumatised. How we feel, and especially when we are struggling with burnout, posttraumatic stress or depression, either as a result of our activism or of other events in our lives, can have a huge impact on how we function in our activist groups, and this impacts the functioning of the group.
