Beyond the Jargon: Understanding the Impacts of Child Abuse and Trauma
An enormous amount of time, money, effort, and good intentions goes into scientific research. But all too often the results aren’t shared – or effectively communicated – with those beyond the ivory tower of academia. The goal of Beyond the Jargon is to make academic research more accessible to a wider audience. Host Karen Albright engages listeners in a series of conversations designed to translate scientific research and to explore from a data-driven perspective the impacts of child abuse on our psychological, family, health care, criminal justice, and social systems.

In this episode of Beyond the Jargon, Karen talks with Dr. Heather J. Risser, Director of the Family CARE Parenting Lab and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, about her work to partner with parents and community providers to find gaps in service access and service delivery, and to design intervention strategies to address those gaps by building parent capacity to meet their children’s needs and overcome barriers to treatment.
