The Trauma, Diversity, and Systemic Change (TDSC) Lab is dedicated to advancing knowledge and fostering systemic change in trauma-informed care and diversity. We specialize in the study of complex trauma, using advanced statistical methods to understand its impact on diverse populations. Our research focuses on addressing systemic barriers to treatment and reporting, including investigating sexual trauma among college students to enhance support and prevention efforts. Through applied research, advocacy, and community engagement, we strive to transform systems of care and reporting, making it easier for diverse survivors to receive support and report incidents. Join us in making a meaningful impact on trauma survivors' lives and promoting equity in care and reporting.
