Traumatic stress is a powerful moderator of physical and mental health outcomes. The impact of traumatic stress is visible across the lifespan from perinatal to late life stages of development. The biological mechanisms that drive symptom onset and expression have been the focus of intense study. Advances in neuroimaging and psychophysiology methods and applications now define clinical phenotypes that map onto biological indices. Treatment approaches that target specific cognitive, behavioral, and biological processes linked to traumatic symptoms show promise yet additional work is needed to optimize outcomes for individuals exposed to traumatic events.

At the conclusion of the conference, participants should be able to:
1. Understand demographic risks associated with poor outcomes and traits associated with resilience
2. Discuss the current research findings that outline the clinical/biological effects of trauma
3. Explain the latest therapies and strategies that facilitate resiliency and improved mental health following traumatic experiences.
