Johns Hopkins-Pulitzer Symposium: "Surviving Trauma: Stories of Pain and Possibility"

ISIS child soldiers. Families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border. Victims of sexual violence in Africa.

Across the globe, survivors of traumatic events endure devastating psychological effects—often without access to mental health services.
