Boston Globe Health and Science Article Today

Bostonglobehealth_2An article/essay I wrote, "Trauma Care," is featured in The Boston Globe, Health and Science section today.

Pictured at right is the article, including a featured image of Svang Tor, Harvard Program in Refugee Trauma staff member, and former refugee. She holds her identification photo from her time in a Cambodian refugee camp.

From the article:

Trauma victims can transcend the most horrific events imaginable and go on to lead rich and meaningful lives. Ultimately, traumatized people heal themselves -- and what's more, their experience can teach the rest of us how to deal with the tragedies of everyday life.
