APF: Psychology and Philanthropy

With this funding, I will be able to deepen my research into trauma and institutional responses, paving the way for more effective interventions for survivors of intimate partner violence.

Without this funding, I would not have been able to complete my dissertation research! I will utilize the findings from the EMA and cross-sectional survey to inform individual interviews that explore the developmental trajectories of suicide risk and resilience/resistance among trans people of color. This grant has enabled me to begin laying the foundation for an intersectional suicidology approach in service of trans people of color’s wellbeing. Thank you so much for your support!”

This prestigious grant empowers me to advance crucial research, amplifying voices often marginalized in healthcare. As a future counseling psychologist committed to serving the LGBTQ+ community, this grant propels me towards pioneering interventions, fostering resilience, and championing equity.
