Public information and education spotlight – Sonya Norman, PhD, Public Information and Education (PIE) Committee Chair, Melissa Zielinski, PhD, PIE Production Subcommittee Chair, Jennifer Wachen, PhD, PIE Review Subcommittee Chair & Tanya C. Saraiya, PhD, Conversation and Consultation Chair ‎

The Public Information and Education (PIE) committee regularly releases new informational and educational products for our ISTSS members and the broader public. 

• Friday Fast Facts are a deep dive into a topic with informational webpages, videos and infographics.
•  
• Webinars and podcasts have our expert members presenting on a timely topic.

Conversation and Consultation is a member-only perk akin to a virtual coffee and chat where ISTSS experts informally answer questions about a professional development topic.

Since our last update, our committee has released the following products on important and timely topics:

• Intergenerational Effects of Trauma Exposure webinar, presented by Dr. Tanja Jovanovic and moderated by Dr. Anthony Reffi and Dr. Ilana Berman, which provided a focused perspective on the physiology behind the intergenerational transmission of trauma.
• Friday Fast Facts Series on Occupational Trauma and its impact on mental health, authored by Dr. Michelle Lilly and Ashley Horodyski.
• Conversation and Consultation on Career Mentorship: Providing Mentorship and Finding a Good Mentorship Match with Drs. Denise Hien and Teresa Lopez-Castro.

New products in 2024 will include:

• Several Friday Fast Facts series, including series focused on intimate partner and sexual violence, moral injury, and incarceration.
• Webinars focused on medication-assisted and digital health interventions for PTSD.
• Conversation and Consultation on Developing Collaborations and Working with International Collaborators with Drs. Norah Feeny and Mumin Egeh
