Mark Brennan-Ing joins webinar on trauma and HIV

Mark Brennan-Ing, senior research scientist at Brookdale, joined Nathaniel Currie and Lillibeth González in a webinar moderated by Anthony Anderson, “Combating Trauma in a Time of Isolation.” The webinar, hosted by the NMAC 50+ Scholars Program on June 18, focused on older adults who may be reliving trauma from the AIDS epidemic.

Dr. Brennan-Ing spoke about their research into the relationship between trauma and HIV, including childhood trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and all panelists discussed healthy approaches to coping with the COVID-19 pandemic.
