Past Events about Traumatic Events

This meeting will bring together principal investigators and their community partners funded who received research funding to address the role of violence on HIV care and viral suppression. At the meeting, researchers will give an update on study progress and findings to date and, alongside their community partners, will discuss challenges and opportunities for future HIV and violence research.

In recognition of Juneteenth, the NIH Eight Changes for Racial Equity (8CRE) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) co-hosted a webinar on mental health equity and addressing mental health concerns for yourself or a loved one.

During this talk, Ashlee Cunsolo, Ph.D., discussed the profound, cumulative, and complex mental health outcomes of the climate crisis.

Using examples from his research and clinical practice, Michael Ungar, Ph.D., explored the nature of young people’s patterns of resilience in contexts where children and adolescents are affected by social marginalization, migration, violence, and mental disorder.

Exposure to trauma and violence are associated with higher rates of HIV infection, as well as poorer HIV treatment outcomes. To date, there are few evidence-based interventions that address trauma or violence that have been shown to improve either HIV prevention or treatment outcomes. This webinar will focus on different intervention approaches that the speakers have utilized to address this gap in the literature.
