Trauma and Healing Lab

Mission Statement

Welcome to the Trauma and Healing Lab at California State University San Marcos. Our research lab investigates the complexity of the healing process following experiences of trauma and violence exposure. Informed by clinical work with survivors from historically underserved, marginalized groups, this program of research utilizes a non-pathologizing lens to examine and understand long-term factors that influence outcomes of trauma and healing for individuals and their communities. Our lab is directed by Dr. Aleksandria Perez Grabow in the Psychological Sciences department at CSUSM.
