Center For Traumatic Stress Research

The XULA Center for Traumatic Stress Research was founded in 2012 by Dr. Cirecie West-Olatunji, a counselor educator.
(1)

The focus of the research center team is to investigate the psychological and emotional effects of trauma on individuals, families, and communities due to: (a) cultural hegemony in education, (b) natural and human-made disasters, and (c) child sexual abuse (CSA). The investigators also seek to discover empirically tested clinical interventions that mitigate the effects of traumatic stress for client populations.

Happy Women's History Month from the Center of Traumatic Stress Research! Studies have found that African American mothers, who are raising sons in the context of Black Lives Matter, have exacerbated stress, mental strain, and tension. Some mothers have not only experienced this, but grieved the loss of a child to community and state violence. The Mothers of the Movement have used their grief to inspire them to advocate for social reform. CTSR focuses on investigating mental health as it relates to traumatic stress and seeks to discover interventions that mitigate the effect of traumatic stress.
