Intergenerational Effects of Psychological Trauma
in partnership with the UBC Emeritus College
Presentations in this series will reflect a broad range of populations and social cultural contexts in which a traumatic injury is intergenerationally transmitted to descendants of the person(s) originally injured. The aim of the series is to make a broad comparison of cases and perspectives from different settings so that researchers can learn from each other and discover what kinds of support systems are most likely to help recovery and restore resilience for those affected. Series convenors are Marvin Westwood, Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education; Judith Hall, Pediatrics and Medical Genetics; Richard Vedan, School of Social Work.
