The Trauma Research Institute has been the site for research training of dozens of trauma-informed therapists and researchers, who now teach, do research, and practice all over the country. Below is a list of the abstracts from the dissertations of the TRI research associates over the years. Over time, I would like to add a link for each associate to know what they are doing and how others can get in touch. Please send me links to your websites or descriptions of your current and past positions. I’ll update every few months with the new links.
