Meet the ’Trauma Avengers’

A nationwide child and adolescent behavioral health project that originated at UConn Health takes a creative, modern approach to helping young people cope with mental health challenges. At the same time, it creates educational resources for therapists throughout the country. A component of this includes the "Trauma Avengers" sharing their "Digital Diaries." Clinical psychologists Julian Ford and Rocio Chang, co-directors of the Center for the Treatment of Developmental Trauma Disorders, join Carolyn and Chris to explain.
