The Covid-19 pandemic this year is an example of current life collective trauma. It has affected how school and work places have been re-organized, often causing a lot of stress in the lives of educators, students, and parents. Working at a school practicing hybrid learning (on campus and distance at the same time) I see many teachers and students undergoing a lot stress with new rules such as wearing masks at all times (making communication more challenging), regulation of students on the playground to be 6 feet apart from each other, and grouping students in cohorts without being able to mingle with students in cohorts not their own. Students who are distance learning from home and see their peers on camera in class are also often feeling "left out" and alone.
