Traumatic events are remarkably common in the U.S. and around the world. And trauma has a major impact on health. I'm excited about our new Division because it will help us to understand why traumatic events are harmful to our physical well-being, and more importantly, what we can do to help.
Division 56 is going electronic and GREEN!
We are proud to announce that Div 56's Trauma Psychology Newsletter is going electronic beginning with the Winter 2010 edition. With escalating production and mailing costs and our commitment to eco-friendly efforts, the Fall 2009 edition of TPN was the last one you received on paper. Future versions of the newsletter will be delivered as a PDF file to your email inbox. We will also send out an announcement about newsletter issues as they are published on our website through our division's announce-only listserv, div56announce@lists.apa.org. Complete details about this change were featured in the Fall 2009 issue of the Trauma Psychology Newsletter.
