The Trajectories of Resilience, Community, and Health Lab is dedicated to improving Veterans’ lives by conducting targeted research that produces meaningful, actionable and goal-driven results. Our team examines the long term outcomes of military experiences. The research, education, and evidence-based programs our team produces can enhance the quality of life experienced by veterans, service members, and their families.
