Traumatic and stressful events are very common in people. They appears in various fields. They manifest themselves either at the physical, psychological or social levels. These levels are constantly intertwined with each other and depend on each other. In my work I wanted to explore how severe stress or a traumatic event affects a person from all aspects of the levels described above, how a person with severe distress copes with, who is helping or assisting her and who impedes her to emotional and mental progress. In my research, I also involved the power of social work. I observed what methods, techniques and approaches use social workers in their work with a person who had or has experience with a traumatic, stressful event, and finally how the individual's experience involved a social network - narrower than the width. The results of the analysis show that a person with a traumatic, stressful experience can more easily overcome his or her experiencing and physical decline if he or she has social support. The research shows that the narrower social network (family, partner) is most important in emotional and physical progression, and vice versa. The survey shows that the support of institutions is also important. Personal physician, hospitals, social work centers to which a person can turn and with the support of the latter to obtain a stability and motivation for new, positive beginnings to cope with their negative experience. A person with social and institutional support is gaining strength, she enhances her self-esteem and, consequently, develops and strengthens coping techniques for quality of her life and mental health.
