In recent years, trauma research has exploded, with new findings and frameworks emerging across disciplines at a staggering pace. But as the field expands, turning that knowledge into real-world action remains a challenge. Research translation and dissemination are not always straightforward. Clinicians, practitioners, policymakers, advocates, and researchers are often working toward the same goals, each from a different angle, yet too often without enough opportunities to learn from one another in practical, collaborative ways.
TRF’s Dialogues in Trauma Research is built to help close that gap.
Each month, we explore trauma research through one of three formats
Journal Club with Dr. Wendy D’Andrea
A guided discussion of a recent peer-reviewed article, exploring methodology, findings, and implications for practice and policy.
TRF Op-Eds and Publications
Engage with original essays and commentaries from the Trauma Research Foundation that bridge research and public discourse.
Playback Talkbacks
Revisit recordings from TRF events with facilitated group reflection, connecting presentations to your own work and communities.
