New information is added to this site about once a month. The purpose of this award-‐winning site is to provide information for clinicians and researchers in the traumatic-‐stress field. Baldwin’s interests include both clinical and research aspects of trauma responses and their resolution. For example: 1. What goes on biologically in the brain during traumatic experience and its resolution? 2. Which psychotherapeutic procedures are most effective for which patients with traumatic symptoms, and why? 3. How can we best measure clinical efficacy and treatment outcome for trauma survivor populations? Supportive resources supplement the more academic or research information of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students.

This experience has resulted in an increasing awareness of the need for quality mental health education and preventative approaches to minimize the long-‐term effects of traumatic disaster. With special experience for trauma resulting from natural disasters, this organization has a network of mental health professionals capable of immediate response to help a community organize and focus their resources following traumatic events. One of the primary partners in this effort is the Disaster Mental Health Institute in South Dakota. Either of these resources are excellent places to start. The Red Cross 8
