The purpose of this corporation is to support and conduct non-partisan research, education, & informational activities dedicated to innovative clinically informed projects to develop and implement optimal methods, treatments, and modalities to help children and adults heal from traumatic experiences.
Through "Science", "Teaching" and "Partnership", THEN hopes to help bridge the GAP between the explosion of emerging research and the very slow application of this important science to clinical care. We believe that medicine and healthcare can develop a rigorous, system-science-based approach that will advance health and health equity.
