Elon Musk has said "how treacherous life on Mars will be". There will be many challenges. It may be the case that a tight knit community on Mars may be better prepared to deal with any serious trauma or distress because of the closer community connections. Of course thi is exactly what the Trieste/Soteria model and practice of mental health shows. It may also be the case that many of the problems that create serious trauma on Earth such as corruption, abuse, discrimination and political causes may not get exported to Mars.
