Background: The trauma-informed education (TIE) framework can help create an equitable learning environment supportive of all learners.

Problem: Stress and trauma can be impediments to academic success for students, particularly from backgrounds historically excluded from nursing.

Approach: This article shares the initial steps of a training program on implementing a series of Lunch and Learns (LLs) on TIE in a school of nursing to introduce TIE to faculty and staff and obtain their feedback on facilitators and barriers to implementing recommended approaches.

Outcomes: The series was well attended, averaging 33 participants per session. Using experts in TIE positively impacted the learning but contributed to inconsistencies in presentation style and scaffolding of content across sessions.

Conclusion: Purposeful recruitment and engagement of faculty during the development of the LLs were effective in increasing attendance. Multiple sessions require early planning and meetings with team and presenters to ensure consistency and better use of resources.

Background: Syringe services programs (SSP) are evidence-based venues offering harm reduction services to persons who inject drugs (PWID), such as sterile syringes, STI/HIV testing, and linkage to care to decrease drug use-related morbidities and mortalities. Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked with reduced resilience, while increased resilience can help PWID attend SSPs. This study examined the potential mediating role of resilience between ACEs and SSP attendance among PWID.

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a medically complex, multifaceted gynecological condition associated with psychological comorbidities and sexual trauma among women. Low rates of positive treatment outcomes underscore the need to better understand complex relationships between CPP, trauma exposure, and the psychosocial context of patients' lives. We conducted a secondary analysis of English and Spanish qualitative interviews with female-identity patients (N = 48) about CPP's impact on psychosocial well-being.
