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:

Recognize demographic risks associated with poor outcomes and traits associated with resilience
Discuss current approaches which might be best for someone who experienced trauma
Identify types of traumatic stress and symptoms and how these symptoms may be affecting relationships and resiliency
