Her work centers on trauma and resilience across the life course\, with a focus on gender-based violence\, child sexual abuse and its mental health impacts\, intimate partner violence\, and the structural barriers that impede recovery. She is particularly committed to identifying and promoting resilience processes among children\, youth\, and adults exposed to violence. \nDr. Alaggia is the Director of the ThRIve research Incubation Laboratory for Child and Youth Trauma\, at the University of Toronto\, a collaborative hub where researchers\, practitioners\, students\, and community partners come together to inform policy and establish best practices in trauma-informed care. \nLocally\, she leads research projects aimed at improving the well-being of children\, youth\, and their families by supporting prevention and intervention initiatives and developing innovative service models to enhance mental health outcomes. Internationally\, she has delivered training in Scotland\, Ireland\, and Germany on trauma and resilience-informed approaches to enhance mental health. A recent study published in the journal Research on Social Work practice identified Dr. Alaggia as one of the 100 most impactful global contributors to social work scholarship. \nThe Janis Rotman Distinguished Lecture Series on Mental Wellness\nThe Janis Rotman Distinguished Lecture Series On Mental Wellness presents an annual keynote address by a leading researcher\, practitioner or educator on topics such as innovations in culturally-attuned mental health services\, social work’s role in addressing widening mental health disparities\, the impact of community-based care\, and other contemporary concerns at the intersection of social work and mental health. \nWe’d like to thank Janis Rotman for her generous support of FIFSW’s Talk It Out Online Counselling Clinic\, which inspired the launch of this series
