Dr. Israel Liberzon, founder and head of the Department of Psychiatry at @TAMUMedicine, is leading a team funded by the National Institutes of Health (@NIHGov) to provide evidence-based trauma care for the Ukrainian people. It`s been over a year since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Liberzon explains, "It`s horrific what the Ukrainian people have endured - there are hundreds of thousands of traumatized people. It`s a mental health catastrophe."
The team will partner with the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy to train mental health professionals in Ukraine and research the most effective interventions. Additional partners of the team are: the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (@UTHealthHouston); the University of Michigan (@UofMichigan); Emory University (@EmoryUniversity); and the Medical University of South Carolina (@MedUnivSC).
