Excellent article with some excellent games. I think the biggest pushback about games that deal with trauma it that sometimes there can be very little subtlety with them, but when executed well they can be very powerful experiences. People always like to complain about things though, especially now that everything is politicized. As long as your games reach their intended audience, screw the haters. :)
Here are some of my favorite mental health focused games if you're interested:
