The Trauma and Healing Lab was established at CSUSM in Spring 2020 and is ran by Dr. Aleksandria Perez-Grabow. The Media and Mental Health Study (MMH):
This study is currently underway and aims to examine the influence of media exposure on mental health and behavioral outcomes related to current events (e.g., COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter Movement, 2020 Presidential Election) in young adults. https://csusm.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0jFLuuHl9GwBhT7
The Trauma and Healing Study:
The objective of this study is to examine changes in healing (e.g., acute stress, physical health, dissociation) over time in children who have experienced betrayal trauma. The study will also measure how various systems (e.g., community, media) influence these outcomes. This project is unique in that betrayal trauma has not yet been studied in a longitudinal, prospective study of children with consideration of systemic influences. Recruitment for this study is currently underway.
