New Canadian Research: A conceptual analysis of interpersonal resilience as a domain specific type of resilience, based on the premise that it is a multi-faceted construct. The researchers consider interpersonal resilience within the context of child sexual abuse (CSA) as an under-attended and salient interpersonal stressor with profound implications involving the self and personal identity.

New Canadian Research: A growing body of literature on the concept of trauma-informed care (TIC) has emerged in response to greater recognition of the prevalence of childhood trauma.

Someday I hope to tell him how significant his work has been through my own journey, and a influence of my own personal work in helping to free woman from trauma. so glad to see this mutual admiration for this great leader.
