Session Description from the TRANSFORM Research Center:

The Translational Research that Adopts New Science For Maltreatment prevention (TRANSFORM) Research Center recognizes that our communities have been struggling with many challenges highlighted over the past year. Across the United States, communities have been suffering from the consequences of the pandemic. Communities of color have been grappling with the trauma brought on by systemic and institutional racism.

Join us in a conversation about the impacts of these traumas on our communities and about ways to work towards community resilience. To address the complex issues facing our communities, we must work across systems, sectors, and disciplines, to build bridges for solutions. The Monroe County Family Coalition and Connecting for Kids are examples of programs developed in response to community trauma.
